Overview
In 1985, the Alberta Legislature unanimously endorsed a resolution to transfer lands to the Metis Settlements and establish new legislation which provided Metis Settlements with greater local autonomy.
The Alberta-Metis Settlements Accord was signed in 1989. Alberta is home of the only recognized Métis land base in Canada.
