Manitoba Métis Federation signs Canada's first modern treaty, officially recognizing their government.

The Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF) is set to sign Canada's first modern treaty with a Métis government on Saturday, recognizing the MMF as the government of the Red River Métis. While the treaty does not include specific benefits, it sets the stage for future negotiations on issues like health care and land claims. The MMF's self-government was agreed upon in 2021, and its members approved the treaty last year. This marks a significant step in the 150-year struggle for Métis recognition.
