Introduction
Métis people have played an important role in Alberta’s history, society and economy. Alberta is home to more than 127,000 Métis people and is the only province in Canada with a recognized Métis land base.
The Métis landscape in Alberta includes the Metis Settlements, the Metis Settlements General Council, Credibly Asserted Métis Communities, the Métis Nation of Alberta and other independent Métis communities.
Métis communities
The 8 Settlements are spread out across the central and northern part of the province and are home to nearly 6,000 Settlement members.
The MSGC serves as the central administration and governing body of the 8 Metis Settlements.
These communities have successfully demonstrated a credible assertion of Métis Aboriginal rights through the credible assertion process.
The MNA represents over 70,000 Métis in Alberta and promotes the socio-economic well-being of its members.
