Description:

L’Association des Métis de l’Alberta et des
Territoires du Nord-Ouest lobbied Alberta’s
government to set aside land for
the Métis. Alberta’s government passed
the Métis Population Betterment Act in
1938, which established twelve temporary
Métis settlements. This was the first time
in Canada’s history that a government
had provided the Métis with land.
