The Métis considered themselves a nation due to their unique cultural identity, which emerged from the intermingling of Indigenous and European (primarily French and Scottish) ancestry. This distinct identity was characterized by a shared language (Michif), traditions, and social practices that set them apart from both Indigenous peoples and European settlers. Additionally, the Métis developed their own governance structures and engaged in collective political action, particularly during events like the Red River and North-West Rebellions, which further solidified their sense of nationhood. Their historical experiences and struggles for rights and recognition have reinforced their claim to nationhood within Canada.
