  • The Métis Nation of Alberta (MNA) is a registered not-for-profit society in Alberta, Canada, that acts as a representative voice on behalf of Métis people within the province. Formed in 1928 as the Métis Association of Alberta, its primary founding members were Felice Callihoo, Joseph Dion, James P. Brady, Malcolm Norris, and Peter Tompkins. The MNA is led by a democratically-elected "Provincial President," a position currently (as of 2021) held by Audrey Poitras since 1996, as well as an elected Vice President (VP). The organization also has six regionally-elected presidents and vice presidents, who, together with the Provincial President and VP, make up the MNA's Provincial Council. The organization and its 6 regional boards have branches that deal with unemployment, child services, land agreements, and the rights of Métis people as Aboriginal peoples in Canada (as recognized and affirmed in Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982). The MNA currently has over 50,000 registered citizens. Alberta itself is home to eight Métis Settlements established by provincial legislation; many Métis Settlement members are also registered MNA citizens, but many are not. The Metis Settlements are the only secure Métis land base in Canada, resulting in Alberta having the largest population of declared Métis of any Canadian province. (en)
