About Manitoba Métis Federation :
« The MMF was established in 1967 to provide democratic, responsible, and accountable governance on behalf of Red River Métis using the constitutional authorities delegated by our citizens. The MMF later incorporated as a requirement imposed on us by Canada in order to apply for programming. The Red River Métis is the Indigenous collective - made up of its Citizens and individuals entitled to be Citizens -located within what is now Manitoba as well as elsewhere inside and outside of Canada.
The MMF is the only officially recognized Métis Government in Canada. The MMF signed the Manitoba Métis Self-Government Recognition and Implementation Agreement with Canada at Upper Fort Garry on July 6, 2021. The agreement provided immediate recognition of the MMF as the democratically elected Métis Government for the Red River Métis.
The MMF represents the claims, rights, and interests of the Red River Métis. We have never been defined by others. We promote and continue to use the 2002 Métis Nation definition resolution of the Métis National Council. The MMF represents the one and only Métis Nation as we connect back to our roots - back to our origins -the Red River Métis. »
