Clare,

Another interesting thing I have discovered while Googling . . . I was searching "Manitoba Metis Federation" to see results, and what did I chance to find instead - special government pages disclosing project-specific grants to the MMF. Several very interesting ones (try doing a Google for "disclosure grants contributions Manitoba Metis Federation") but a few which jumped out at me:
