James
Patrick Brady (1908-1967) James, better known as "Jim" Brady,
was born in St. Paul, Alberta on March 11, 1908. With a strong concerned
for his people; Brady was destined to become a political activist.
Along with Norris, Brady became involved with the Metis in the Edmonton
area where they went on to form the big five and start up the Metis
Association of Alberta. Like Norris, Brady also entered the war
and came back to join the CCF in Saskatchewan. The workload was
too much for Brady to handle so he went on to a life as a prospector
in the Northern woods, where he continued to support the rights
of the Metis. In 1964 he formed a new Metis Association in La Ronge.
Brady, much like Norris, ran into a misfortune when he went missing
in 1967 and was never found.
