This document focuses on the Métis. The Indian people were the first people to call Canada home and because of this we call them Native people. In time, non-natives arrived from places like France, Ireland, Scotland, and England. They were called Europeans. Almost all of the Europeans who settled in the remote parts of Canada were men. So the first Métis children often had European fathers and Indian mothers. Today we refer to all persons of mixed White and Indian blood and who are not classified as 'Indians' by the government as Métis. There are Métis all over Canada, but it was only the Western Métis who emerged as a nation of people with a history and culture of their own.
