The Métis Nation is a distinct Indigenous group in Canada, formed from the intermarriage of European settlers, primarily French and Scottish, with Indigenous peoples, particularly the First Nations. The Métis have their own unique culture, language, and traditions, which blend elements from both Indigenous and European heritages. The Métis Nation is recognized as one of the three main Indigenous groups in Canada, alongside First Nations and Inuit. They have a rich history, including significant events like the Red River Resistance led by Louis Riel, which played a crucial role in shaping their identity and rights within Canada.
