The Métis are a distinct Indigenous people in Canada whose culture, history, and sovereign identity emerged from the intermingling of European fur traders and First Nations women during the 18th century. Rather than being defined simply by “mixed-blood” ancestry, the Métis are legally, politically, and culturally recognized under Section 35 of Canada’s Constitution Act, 1982 as a sovereign nation with an independent history, governance, and language. 📜 Historic Origins and Ethnogenesis
