Grande Prairie's Metis Local 1990's work to improve its people's situation is hamstrung by a lack of support from the Metis Nation of Alberta, its president claims.

The local is relying on donations and bingo fund-raisers to carry out vital projects ranging from job programs to building cultural respect through the schools, Local 1990 president Bruce McMahon said.

The local needs administrative funding to be effective because it is more aware of what the community wants done rather than 'top-down' decision-making from the MNA.
