The Métis secured their collective rights primarily through historical treaties and legal recognition of their distinct identity and culture. The 1982 Canadian Constitution Act recognized the rights of Indigenous peoples, including the Métis, leading to increased advocacy for their rights. Landmark court cases, such as the Calder case in 1973 and the Powley decision in 2003, further affirmed their land and harvesting rights. These developments were the result of sustained political activism and negotiations by Métis leaders and communities.
