∙ 13y agoThe Metis people are the descendants of the people that were created by First Nations people and Europeans (primarily French) breeding.
During the fur trade, First Nations and Europeans (again, mainly French) began to intermarry so that the skills of both people could be combined in the fur trade. When this happened, the couple's offspring became known as the Metis. The Metis people have their own unique culture, and are especially unique because they are more of a new group of people, and were created by two different races mixing over time.
