Métis people (Canada)
abstract: The Métis (/meɪˈtiː/; Canadian French: [meˈtsɪs]; Michif: [mɪˈtʃɪf]) are a specific indigenous people of North America, with their own culture and communities. While the Métis initially developed as the mixed-race descendants of early unions between First Nations people and colonial-era French or British settlers (usually Indigenous women and settler men), within generations (particularly in central and western Canada, but also in the Eastern parts of Canada), a distinct Métis culture developed. Since the late 20th century, the Métis people have been recognized by the government of Canada as one of the official Aboriginal peoples, with formal recognition equal to that given to the Inuit and First Nations peoples.The early mothers were usually Mi'kmaq, Algonquin, Saulteaux, Cree, Ojibwe, Menominee, or Maliseet, or of mixed descent from these peoples. Their unions with European men were often of the type known as Marriage à la façon du pays. After New France was ceded to Great Britain's control, at one time there was an important distinction between French Métis born of francophone voyageur fathers, and the Anglo-Métis (known as "countryborn"') descended from English or Scottish fathers. Today these two cultures have essentially coalesced into one Métis tradition, which does not preclude a range of other Métis cultural expressions across Canada. Such mixed-race people were historically referred to by other terms, many of which are now considered to be offensive, such as Mixed-bloods, Half-breeds, Bois-Brûlés, Bungi, Black Scots, and Jackatars. However, the contemporary Métis are a specific Indigenous people and culture; the term does not apply to any person of "mixed" heritage or ancestry.While people of Métis culture or heritage are found across Canada, in the more restrictive sense, the traditional Métis "homeland" includes much of the Canadian Prairies centering on southern and central parts of Manitoba. Closely related are the Métis in the United States, primarily[cell cut: 2204 characters, first 2000 kept]
