Self-identified Metis - Red River Settlement, Manitoba, Canada

Leanne Velda OHara

Hello, my genealogy makes clear my Metis ancestry linked to the Metis homeland, the Red River Settlement in Manitoba Canada. The Metis are a distinct nation specific to that homeland, with a few other areas in Canada being identified as well. What I'm having trouble finding are any documents showing where ancestors self-identfied as Metis. This is a requirement to receive citizenship into the Metis Nation of Alberta. I've done a lot of searching and have not had any luck. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. Thank you!
