Métis Nation of Ontario

The Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) is the government of Métis citizens and communities within Ontario that is recognized by the Canadian government. It is the democratic representative of the Métis communities represented by the MNO, with the responsibility of providing responsible and accountable self-government for its citizens and Métis communities in Ontario.

The Métis communities represented by the MNO constitute one of the Métis collectives that collectively comprise the Métis Nation, an Indigenous People that emerged with its own distinct identity, language, culture, institutions, and way of life in the Historic Métis Nation Homeland prior to Canada’s westward expansion into the historic North-West.
