Dion was the president of the MAA (1 agos 1932 anni – 1 magg 1940 anni)

Descrizione:

At a gathering of Alberta's Metis people, Joseph Dion was elected the association president for his work and devotion to the cause.

Together, as a team and community with a united goal, Dion and his fellow Metis leaders, with the support of some federal and political politicians, lobbied Alberta’s government to investigate the poverty, health issues, and education (or lack of it) of the non-status Indigenous people and the Metis.

Dion remained president until the spring of 1940, when the Provisional Executive Council self-proclaimed themselves the new leaders and appointed a chairman, Malcolm Norris.
