BLOGGER CHARLES LEBLANC MEETS REBEL ACADIAN METIS HERO JACKIE VAUTOUR!!!!

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to meet Acadian hero Jackie Vautour!

I arrived to his door and there he was cleaning the floor with a broom.

Personally, I didn't know what to expect but I was determine to meet the guy for a few pictures.

There are so little pictures on the internet of this Acadian hero and I know he's getting up there in age.

I walked into his home with a couple who didn't know or heard of the man.

I knew that I had to move fast because this could be a very short visit.

This was my second visit in the same little home. The year was 1978. This is the Jackie Vautour I remember. Someone took this picture of myself and Jackie Vautour. He had a gun in his hands.












He still looks in good shape for 79!!!!







I asked Jackie if he would do a short camera interview with me?

He quickly answered that he didn't feel good so he denied my request.

Can't really blame him? A stranger walks in his home and wants to take pictures. I had to move slowly because Jackie Vautour is not a stupid individual.









I wasn't sure if I was going to get one single picture?

The couple sat down and a conversation quickly pursue. He was really interested with the Native I had with me.

Doreen is from St.Mary's First Nation and a pretty smart cookie.









Of course Jackie always claims himself to be a Metis so therefore the woman had his attention 100%!!!

I notice this picture on his wall.






I met Jackie's wife Yvonne and she sure looks good for 75 years old.











Behind every good rebel activist must be a good woman. I believe she told me they had 9 kids together. < I got to start bringing writing notes with me. >











While Jackie was chatting with the couple. I began to have a conversation with Yvonne en Francais.

She told me they received visitors from all over the country every single day.

Once someone visits, she'll noticed the traffic slowing down to have a look at the famous rebel activist.










The minute someone leaves their home? Some other stranger stops by.

This was proven when someone did make a stop when we were there.

Must be difficult listening to her husband telling the same stories over and over for 40 years!!!!

It's not an easy life since the Government bulldozed their home in the late 70s. They have been living in the same spot ever since.

She reminded me they still have the same pump that was in their old home.








She added that she loves to cook so this is her pride and joy!!






When she bakes bread. She used the trailer next door because it's so hot!!!









Of course, they live in the old ways. This is the price you have to pay for standing up for your rights.

This is one of the sacrifice!!!!










Hey? Better than Sears Catalog Eh???








The reason I took those pictures is just to give the readers an idea what's going on behind the scenes. It's not an easy task when you do battle with the Government.










Jackie have come across thousands of people since his fight began. He's a professional once it comes to trust someone.

After explaining to the Metis Acadian Rebel what was a Blogger and the amount of people who reads my blog? He understood this would be a great way to spread his views.










Jackie is going to court in November and I have his story on video and will blog his issue BIG TIME till his court date.

I wish to thank Jackie and Yvonne to allow me in their homes and take some pictures.











I am very honoured this Acadian hero would allow me to take many pictures so get ready for many blogs!!!

Did you know an R.C.M.P. officer almost killed his beautiful wife?







Here's a youtube video I made with his wife Yvonne. She spoke the truth about almost being killed by an R.C.M.P. officer.
