Metis Nation

The Metis Nation is a political and cultural organization representing Métis people, who are descendants of mixed Indigenous and European ancestry in Canada. It advocates for Métis rights, self-governance, and recognition, working to preserve their unique culture, language, and history. The Metis Nation also engages in negotiations with governments to improve social services, education, and economic opportunities for Métis communities. It operates through regional organizations and Manitoba-based Métis Nation structures, seeking to ensure their citizens have a voice in decision-making and the protections afforded to Indigenous peoples.
