Métis in Alberta are Métis people, descendants of mixed First Nations/native Indian and white/European families, who live in the Canadian province of Alberta. The Métis are considered an aboriginal group under Canada's Constitution Act, 1982 and separate and distinct from First Nations, and have different legal rights. Different Metis groups attempted to combine the joint influences of the Manitoba Metis Federation, the Metis Nation of Alberta, and the Metis Nation- Saskatchewan. This was done in hopes that the Metis peoples’ of Alberta would receive land and resource rights. In Alberta, unlike in the rest of Canada, Métis people have negotiated certain lands to be reserved for them under the Métis Population Betterment Act of 1938, known today as the Eight Métis Settlements. These Métis Settlements Federated in 1975 to protect existing Métis Settlement lands following the Alberta Governments dissolution, by Order-In-Council of four Métis Settlements from 1950-1960. Following legal challenges by the Federation of Métis Settlements in 1975 for the loss of natural resource against Alberta, the Crown in Right of Alberta settled out of court for a suite of legislation that would see self-government, land, and money transferred to the newly formed government of the Métis Settlements General Council (MSGC), Canada’s only Métis self-government. The Métis Settlements General Council is the legislator of the Federation of Métis Settlements. MSGC is the second largest land owner in the Province of Alberta.
