"The Afro-Métis Nation consists of folks of African descent whose forebears include Indigenous and/or Métis people (and sometimes Europeans too). However, our often obvious (proud) blackness has led some folks to pretend that we don't exist. Well, we do. Those of us from the Maritimes are glad to claim all the local musics as our own, for we've grown up singing the songs and playing the instruments (including banjo and spoons, mandolin and trumpet). Our Celtic is mixed with Acadian; our Indigenous drums with African. We croon County & Western right along with Rhythm & Blues; we belt out Spirituals with the same gusto that we grant anthems. Our album, Constitution, is our musical manifesto of our existence. Be it resolved that you will hear us and vote Yes/Oui!"--Container.
