Current President of The Manitoba Metis Federation – David Chartrand
The Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF) is a federally recognized Metis government. Its current president is David Chartrand. As of 2023 the MMF had 47,000 Members. Since 2022, Métis living outside of Manitoba have been invited by the Manitoba Métis Federation to become citizens of the MMF.
In September 2019, the MMF began the process of leaving the Metis National Council (MNC). It said its primary reason for withdrawal was that the historic communities composing the Metis Nation of Ontario lack connection to the Red River Métis. This withdrawal from the MNC was completed in September 2021.
In 2024, The Manitoba Métis Federation became the first modern Métis government to sign a treaty with the federal government.
In 1967, the MMF was incorporated to protect the rights and interests of Red River Métis. Its founders included George Fleury, Joseph Angus Spence, and its first president, Adam Cuthand.
In 1985, the MMF appointed a working group to study the possibility of creating an independent educational institute. In 1987, an agreement was reached with the Government of Manitoba and it was decided that the organization would be established immediately and named the Louis Riel Institute.[1

thE MANITOBA metis mile – exhibit
There are many possibilities of Metis Exhibits, we can use.
Let’s try a good old fashioned Metis Square Dancing Display,
featuring their leaders & their spouses, and see how that works out.
Use 4 people performing in the Metis Band & a Fiddle Player.
The Metis have contributed to the Music in Manitoba for many, many years.
It is only right that we recognize them, for that!
