"1988 marks a fiftieth anniversary for the Metis settlements in Alberta. By virtue of legislation passed in 1938 Alberta has 5 geographical areas almost equal to Prince Edward Island in total size that are occupied by associations of Metis collectively exercising rights of land ownership and self-government. The geographical blocks are divided into eight "Metis Settlement Areas", each set aside for a "Metis Settlement Association" created under the Metis Betterment Act of Alberta. The settlements are home to about 5000 Metis"--Introduction, p. [1].
