Metis adopt definition to include U.S. descendants
Monday, January 19, 2004
The Métis Nation of Saskatchewan adopted a new membership definition that includes descendants in Montana and North Dakota. The definition states that Métis are descendants of Aboriginal women who married Scottish or French fur traders in west-central North America. In Canada, Métis are not officially recognized under the Indian Act. Canada's Supreme Court has ruled that Métis people can have constitutionally-protected rights, a decision that Metis leaders hope will lead to full status. Get the Story:
