The Manitoba Métis Land Claim slowly made its way through the Queen’s Bench, the Court of Appeal and finally to the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC). In March 2013 the SCC acknowledged the Manitoba Métis Federation as the body that represents the Manitoba Métis in this collective claim against the Crown. In its decision this Court also accepted the MMF as the self-government of Manitoba’s Métis Community. In its 2013 decision the SCC ruled the constitutional promise made in the Manitoba Act, 1870 was not kept by Canada.
