Métis Nation of Alberta

Since its inception in 1928, the Métis Nation of Alberta (MNA) has been the Métis government for Métis Albertans. The MNA is governed by a Provincial Council, consisting of a provincial President and Vice President, and six regional Presidents and Vice Presidents, who are all democratically elected. Together, this Council works toward fulfilling the MNA’s mandate of transparency, accountability, and inclusiveness for Métis Albertans in government policy and decision-making processes. The MNA also promotes and facilitates the advancement of Métis people through self-reliance, self-determination, and self-management.

Vision:

A strong Métis Nation embracing Métis rights.

Mission:

To pursue the advancement of the socio-economic and cultural well-being of the Métis people of Alberta.
