Norris was involved in many Metis organizations in his lifetime. In 1928 along with others Norris started up the Metis Association of Alberta the group was known as the big five. Norris then went on to serve in the R.C.A.F but when he returned he accepted a job as the newly elected progressive government of the CCF of Saskatchewan where he had encouraged many people to stand up for their rights. Dismissed from the job in 1964 Norris moved on to become a director of the Prince Albert Indian - Metis Friendship Centre and in the same year Norris started up the first Metis Association of Northern Saskatchewan. Two years later an illness struck and Norris suffered a crippling stroke but this did not stop him from attending meetings of the Metis Association. Norris Passed away in Calgary on December 5, 1967.
