Metis rights to hunt, trap and fish that have been denied them since Confederation may be protected as a result of new talks that are planned between the Manitoba Metis Federation and the province.
On Oct. 18, Metis federation president David Chartrand announced the new MMF Commission for the Metis Laws of the Hunt, along with a community consultation process that will contribute to developing new rules for resource harvesting. The findings drawn from the community meetings will prepare the Metis federation to negotiate terms and conditions with the province.
