Historical publication digitized by the Privy Council Office of Canada. Issued also in French under title: L'application du paragraphe 91(24) aux Métis : est-ce la solution? This paper examine ways in which Métis communities in Canada can preserve and enhance their collective existence as a people. The first issue addressed is the meaning of the term 'Métis'. The various communities that might be included in this term are considered, and the perspectives of national Aboriginal political organizations on the identity of Métis communities is discussed. The paper then considers strategies by which Métis communities might sustain a distinctive Aboriginal existence within the context of existing Canadian institutions. First is inclusion of Métis people within the category of Indians as defined in section 91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867. This would place Métis exclusively under the authority of the Parliament of Canada. gccst Commissions of inquiry gccst Aboriginal peoples gccst Identification Martin, Fred. Canada.
