Approximately one third of all Aboriginal people in Canada identify themselves as Métis. Between 1996 and 2006, important political and legal milestones may have encouraged individuals to identify themselves as Métis. The Métis received significant recognition in the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (1996) and have won one important supreme court case related to the recognition of hunting rights (R. vs. Powley, 2003).
