The Métis Nation is a distinct Indigenous group in Canada, recognized for its unique culture, language, and history. The Métis people primarily descend from the intermarriage of First Nations and European settlers, particularly the French and Scottish. They have their own traditions, including the Métis fiddle music and the Métis sash, which symbolize their heritage. The Métis Nation has a political structure that represents its members, advocating for their rights and interests. The Métis National Council is the primary governing body, working to promote the well-being of the Métis people and preserve their cultural identity. The Métis Nation plays a vital role in Canada's diverse Indigenous landscape.
