The government treated First Nations and Métis peoples differently primarily through policies and legal recognition. First Nations were often subjected to the Indian Act, which imposed strict regulations on their governance, land use, and cultural practices, leading to significant loss of autonomy. In contrast, the Métis were recognized as a distinct group with specific rights, but often faced marginalization and exclusion from Indian Act benefits, leading to challenges in land claims and identity. These differing treatments have contributed to ongoing social and economic disparities between the two groups.
