The federal government used the term "half-breed" throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to refer to individuals who were of shared Indigenous and European ancestry. The term currently used is Métis. Métis is a term defined by the Métis National Council as one who self-identifies as Métis, who is distinct from First Nation and Inuit, who is of historic Métis Nation ancestry and accepted by and belonging to a Métis community. The Métis are one of three recognized Aboriginal peoples in Canada-Indian (First Nation), Inuit and Métis-according to Section 35(2) of the Constitution Act, 1982.
