The use of the term Métis is complex and contentious, and has different historical and contemporary meanings. The term is used to describe communities of mixed European and Indigenous descent across Canada, and a specific community of people — defined as the Métis Nation — which originated largely in Western Canada and emerged as a political force in the 19th century, radiating outwards from the Red River Settlement. While the Canadian government politically marginalized the Métis after 1885, they have since been recognized as an Aboriginal people with rights enshrined in the Constitution of Canada"https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/metis I believe this to be credible because the information came from the The Canadian Encyclopedia ]]> 2021-10-28 16:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gbayliss2_2/6j5oetgok4t1laqk/wish/1851896164 Noelle https://padlet.com/gbayliss2_2/6j5oetgok4t1laqk/wish/1854412992 Metis are an individuals who may have Aboriginal ancestry or no Aboriginal ancestry and self-identify as Metis.

There are also some located in Ontario, Northwest Territories and the Northern United States. Albert is currently the only Canadian province with a recognized Metis Nation land base. Among the eight Metis Nation settlements, there are approximately 5,000 people on 1.25 million acres of land. As of the 2016 census, there are roughly 587,545 self-identifying Metis living in all of Canada, 120,585 of which are located in Ontario. I believe this to be true because the source in which it came is widely used in this country and keeps up to date on the ongoing growth of information in the country.

The Metis Nation is comprised of descendants of people born of relations between Indian women and European men. The initial offspring of these unions were of mixed ancestry. The genesis of a new indigenous people called the Metis resulted from the subsequent intermarriage of these mixed ancestry individuals.

 Distinct Metis settlements emerged as an outgrowth of the fur trade, along freighting waterways and watersheds. In Ontario, these settlements were part of larger regional communities, interconnected by the highly mobile lifestyle of the Metis, the fur trade network, seasonal rounds, extensive kinship connections and a shared collective history and identity.

This information is according to the Metis Nation of Ontario website, and can be trusted because of the assumption the Metis would want to represent themselves accurately.

Today, the Métis may speak Michif as well as Cree, Saulteaux , Dene and various settler languages. Besides speaking several First Nations and European languages, the Métis also invented Michif, French Michif, Northern Michif and Bungi (a Cree/Scots-Gaelic Creole). All Métis heritage languages are endangered. Losing any of them would be tragic because that would mean losing a rich Oral Tradition, healing traditions, spiritual systems, communitarian values and harvesting strategies." https://indigenouspeoplesatlasofcanada.ca/article/languages/.

Métis 

Metis Identity is much debated in Canada. Is it a matter of semantics, are individuals wrong when they self identify as Métis? My own grandmother also claimed to be what she called ‘French Métis’ and she was visibly native, was she First Nations and incorrectly labelled Métis as it is sometimes used to reference mixed race persons? The Métis National Council General Assembly  adopted the following “National Definition”  in 2002: “Métis” means a person who self-identifies as Métis, is distinct from other Aboriginal peoples, is of historic Métis Nation Ancestry and who is accepted by the Métis Nation.” Self described Red River Nationalist Adam Gaudry, Professor at the University of Alberta says “ It’s important that Métis remain in charge of determining who is Métis” Wikipedia describes Métis as Indigenous peoples in the three Prairie Provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Alberta) and parts of Ontario, BC and NWT. However there are groups in the maritimes who believe they too are Métis. In its judgement in R. v. Powley  2003, the Supreme Court of Canada confirmed that Métis are a rights-bearing Aboriginal people and set out the components of a Métis definition for the purpose of claiming Aboriginal rights under section 35 of the  Constitution Act, 1982 based on ancestral connection to and acceptance by historic Métis communities. Indigenous persons should be the only ones who can decide if someone is part of their community and wether or not they are Métis, First Nations or Inuit.
