Métis Nation

1820 – present
Native nationNorth America

Born of Cree, Saulteaux and French-Scots fur-trade unions, the buffalo-hunting Métis forged a new prairie nation under the sash and the cart-train.

Defeated at Batoche in 1885 and scattered, yet recognized in 1982 as one of Canada's Indigenous peoples; the Métis Nation endures across the Prairies into 2026.
