Metis are a "distinct Tribe" now, but were considered outcasts by their fellow Natives until recently.
The term was also used to refer to a Native who'd moved off the reservation & thus revoked his Indian Status. However? The Canadian Supreme Court struck that part of Treaty #1 out.
Funny how every word of the treaty "is sacred" until it is inconvenient to Native grifters (who are mostly White lawyers) then they feel free to alter it! Scrap the entire thing, allow Natives to be full, equal Citizens of Canada and move on.
No Native women hunted Buffalo. Never, not one.
