Three Metis groups have signed a deal with Ottawa that recognizes them as Indigenous governments.
The deal between the federal government and the Metis nations of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario gives them powers that include control over citizenship and the right to negotiate further agreements, such as compensation for land lost due to the notorious Metis scrip program.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Calgary SUN, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
Metis Nation of Alberta President Audrey Poitras says the deal, signed in Edmonton by federal Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Marc Miller, will give her members the same constitutional standing as First Nations people. She says it will allow Metis to gain control over important issues such as housing, and child and family services.
It will also allow talks to begin over compensation for scrip, a type of coupon that Metis people were issued in the 19th century to extinguish their title to the land they had occupied for generations.Share this article in your social network
