  No, Not that we know of so far ya, French, Irish and Scottish, but I would like it if so. I know many though, used to know many many more, on the street. (Matt and Jerry, two big Cree guys, would bring me to an aboriginal drop in to eat, they would say: “Let Nick eat! He’s Metis!!!!!!” Yikes lol)
