Community Event

Alberta Metis gather to vote on MNA constitution

Nov 18, 2022 | 6:00 AM

Metis Nation of Alberta citizens in Region 6 are gathering at the Jackpot Grill to vote on the Metis Nation of Alberta constitution Friday.

They will also host a large community gathering to celebrate their culture, eat dinner, and enjoy live entertainment.

The event will start at 5:30 p.m. Friday, November 18, and be a celebration of cultures, following a vote in the largest ratification in Canadian history for an Indigenous nation.

There are 25 self-government agreements or modern treaties that have been put in place across Canada involving 43 indigenous communities, but currently, there are none finalized in Alberta.

With this event, they hope to change that, having the Metis Nations of Alberta signing the first self-government agreement in Alberta with the federal government in 2019.

According to the group, this vote is an important step in having the first self-government agreement in Alberta and an important step towards self-government, self-determination, and reconciliation.
