Gerald Morin (born 1961 in Green Lake, Saskatchewan) is a Métis politician who served as president of the Métis National Council and the Métis Nation—Saskatchewan, also serving as vice president for the latter.
Morin is a recognized expert in Métis governance and history. He has asserted that the Métis formed a self‐governing nation when Louis Riel declared the provisional government and established the Legislative Assembly of Assiniboia. Through his political work, Morin has worked towards recognition of the Métis right to self-government, asserting that Métis self-government is "not something that can be granted to us by the state, we already possess this right," and that self-government is the "vision that our people fought and died for at Red River, that is the vision that our people fought and died for at Batoche."
