Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Métis people are recognized as one of the distinct Indigenous peoples in Canada, alongside First Nations and Inuit. However, not all Métis people have status under the Indian Act, nor do they all qualify for treaty rights. The Indian Act and treaty rights generally apply to First Nations, not Métis. The Métis population also represents a significant portion of Canada's Indigenous population, but the statement about comprising less than 10 per cent is not sufficient to determine its accuracy without specific data. Therefore, the correct statement is that none of the provided options are correct.
