The NCC as it was developed was composed of provincial and territorial organizations, usually called Native Councils or Métis and Non-Status Indian Associations.
"The Native Council of Canada (NCC) was formed in 1971 by the leaders of the Metis Association of Alberta , the Metis Society of Saskatchewan, The Manitoba Metis Federation, and the BC Association of Non-Status Indians. The Native Council of Canada arose out of a November 16, 1970 meeting of the Metis Associations of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta with the British Columbia Association of Non-Status Indians at Victoria, British Columbia. Several subsequent meetings led to the official launch and opening of a NCC national office in Ottawa in April of 1971. In 1983 the Metis split from the Native Council of Canada , a pan-Aboriginal coalition, to form MNC split were; Tony Belcourt, Kermit Moore, Gloria George, Harry Daniels and Smokey Bruyere. The Native Council of Canada continued its operations until 1994, when it changed its name to the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples."
