In the late 18th century in the northwest, the Métis people coalesced into a distinct nation with their own culture, traditions, and language (Michif). Their homeland extends across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, as well as parts of Ontario, British Columbia, the Northwest Territories and the Northern United States. Scrip certificates indicated the right of the holder to receive payment later in the form of money or land. Scrip was distributed to the Métis by the federal government of Canada in exchange for their land rights as a method of extinguishing their Aboriginal title to the land.
Throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the federal government of Canada used the term "Half-breed" to refer to people of mixed First Nations and European ancestries. This included the Métis Nation, a people who coalesced into a distinct nation in the northwest in the late 18th century.
In 1885, the Dominion of Canada established the first Half-Breed Commission, tasked with continuing the distribution of scrip to Métis people in Western Canada, which began with the Manitoba Commission established in 1875.Source of title:Title is based on the contents of the sub-series.Availability of other formats note:See reels T-11354 to T-11358, T-12021 to T-12046, T-12153 to T-12154 for microfilmed copies of these records.Accruals:No further accruals are expected.Container note(s):T-11354 : microfilm copies Copy No. 1
