I just found out yesterday that my sister's daughter qualified under canadian law for Metis status (part american indian) as "Forest Blackfeet". According to my father's stories, A goldsberry ancestor of ours living "back east somewhere" went west as a fur trapper. He wintered over with an indian tribe "out west" and ended up with an indian girl there. We are supposed to be descended from that joining. He is supposed to have had a family back east that he never went back to. I would normally take the story with a grain of sand (dad is getting very old) but it is sort of confirmed by the canadian government. They have a a policy of not revealing the data that the decision is maid on. If anyone knows more about where the "Forest Blackfeet" came into my line of Goldsberry I would be very happy.
