For over two hundred years the Métis nation struggled for recognition as a people and a nation. It’s in the context of this struggle that Métis leadership incorporated the Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF) as a non-profit association under the Companies Act of Manitoba in December 1967. During the early years the Federation focused its efforts on consolidation and organization. The principal goal of the MMF was to be a political advocate for the social and economic concerns of the Métis people. Since the Constitution recognized the Métis as Aboriginal people in 1982, the MMF's activities have gained political momentum. The MMF was involved in the Section 37 roundtable discussion that ran from 1983 to 1987. Following this negotiation the MMF was involved in the Charlottetown Accord representing the constitutional rights of the Métis. MMF representatives made seven presentations to the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples signaling the Federation's activism.
