​Summary 
Métis lawyer and blogger, Chelsea Vowel provides an introduction into defining Métis identity within Canada’s legislative framework. This blog post is written with a conversational tone and Vowel makes use of hyperlinks to direct readers to external resources that provide further context to her own writing. Her key points include: 
  • That a Métis identity is tied to family history and understanding 
  • The difference between métis, meaning “mixed” and Métis, meaning a person belonging to a nation 
  • The specific court rulings that gave rise to a legal definition of a “Métis,” known as the Powley Test 
  • The complexity of defining any identity, generally.
