““We had an 83-year-old man walking in here to vote for the first time in his life,” she said from near a polling station in Tsuut’ina Nation, near Calgary.”

The article is about under estimating the number of First Nation voters, so ballots ran out and people had to wait for the new ones.

Changing the habit of a lifetime at 83!

    It seems that they have distinct cutural affiliations and their own languages , Metis french being one..
    From the use of the infinity symbol on officials records they now use that as their flag symbol.
