Winnipeg Free Press By: Niigaan Sinclair | Posted: 7:00 PM CDT Friday, Jul. 16, 2021 Last Modified: 8:14 PM CDT Friday, Jul. 16, 2021 | Updates Alan Lagimodiere, Manitoba’s new Indigenous Reconciliation and Northern Relations minister, is a nice man. He’s Métis and, while certainly not the first Indigenous person to serve in that role, having one in that position is always notable. I know him and his family, because he’s MLA for Selkirk, my hometown. His family started the veterinary clinic there and cared for our family dog. I later worked with his son at the University of Manitoba. He’s originally from The Pas and has a mixed heritage. I’m not sure what Métis community Lagimodiere draws his Métis identity from, but Opaskwayak Cree Nation is right across the river and the two communities are deeply intertwined.
