Beschreibung:

Canada’s government issued scrip to the Métis, instead of establishing Métis
lands in Manitoba. In some cases, it offered the Métis a choice: to accept
scrip or to become “Treaty Indians” under a Numbered Treaty. In the view
of Canada’s government, the Métis did not have the same rights to land as
First Nations — and did not require reserves. The Métis perspective was —
and is — that the Métis have rights to land as an Aboriginal people.
