The agreement recognizes the Manitoba Metis Federation’s jurisdiction over citizenship, leadership selection, elections and the operations of their government on behalf of the Manitoba Métis, according to the federal government.
Hours after Tuesday’s announcement, AMC released a statement expressing their disappointment with the agreement being signed while they said Canada was “ignoring Treaties made with First Nations in Manitoba.”
The almost two-hour ceremony on Tuesday, replete with a fiddle player, prayers, speeches and gifts, was called a historic step in recognizing the Métis nation’s right to self-government. Critics said it s a sure sign an election is around the corner with the Trudeau government using a longtime ally, federation president David Chartrand, in its quest to solidify its position ahead of a fall vote. Very clearly, we are the government of the Métis people, Chartrand said after the outdoor signing of what he called a modern-day treaty with Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett, who participated virtually from Toronto.
