| Description: | The Métis are a distinct Indigenous nation with their own history, culture, languages,
and territories with deep historical roots in the three Prairie Provinces, and parts of northwest Ontario, northeast British Columbia, the Northwest Territories, and northern Montana and North Dakota. The Métis Nation is made up of the descendants of Indigenous women (mainly Cree and Ojibway) and Euro-settler men (mainly French- Canadian, Scots, and Orcadian). Distinct Métis settlements emerged from the 1750s in the Great Lakes region and in the 1780s in what is now Western Canada as an outgrowth of the fur trade. This timeline begins with the 1600s and continues with major events to the present day. |
