Manitoba rejects assertion of Metis hunting rights


M�tis hunters in Manitoba face charges for hunting without a provincial license, the conservation minister says.

The Manitoba M�tis Federation issued hunting licenses to more than 175 people. But the province says the cards are not legal.

The federation and the province were trying to negotiate an agreement in the wake of a Supreme Court decision favoring Metis rights but talks have failed.
