Presentation transcript:

 The Metis are recognized as one of Canada’s Aboriginal Peoples in the constitution.  However, this has not always been so; the Metis people have fought long and hard for their collective rights.

 The Metis people originated from unions between Canada’s First Nations people and European explorers and fur traders.  The were extremely valuable to Canada as skilled hunters as well as a way to bridge the gap between First Nations and European culture.

 As the Canadian Government expanded west, they tried to take over land that the Metis had been living on for years.  They did not worry about making agreements with the Metis people because they did not consider them a part of Canada’s First Nations people.  This prompted Metis people, led by Louis Riel to stand up for their rights.

 Louis Riel stood up for the Metis people and helped establish the province of Manitoba.  The Manitoba Act gave the Metis people the rights to their land and made Manitoba a bilingual province.

 Many Metis people living in Saskatchewan felt threatened as the railway and settlers moved into their territory.  Louis Riel once again led another rebellion against the Canadian Govt, this time violent.  watch?v=JvxKHSXjnZ8 watch?v=JvxKHSXjnZ8

 After being taken into custody, Riel was tried and found guilty:  qCWDdQ0 qCWDdQ0  Although Riel was hung for treason, he is seen as an important part of Canada’s history and a champion of Metis rights.

 In 1938 the government finally set aside 12 settlements for the Metis people, the first time in history they had provided land for the Metis.  The were turned over to the Metis permanently in 1990.

 The Metis are now formally recognized as one of Canada’s founding peoples, with collective rights protected by the constitution.  In 2003 the Supreme Court ruled that the Metis could hunt and fish for food without licenses as one of Canada’s Aboriginal Peoples.
