In the years since moving to Canada I've often heard the term Metis used in combination with Aboriginal claims or issues. What are Metis? My thinking is that they are descendants of the matings of French explorers and native women. However, is there are limit to this? If a French person today was to have a child with a native person, is this child considered Metis, or just half-native? On what ideas do Metis found their claims and demands on the Canadian people? Thanks.
