The Assembly of First Nations opposes Bill C-21, a new law recognizing self-government for the Red River Métis, arguing it undermines First Nations treaty rights and creates a hierarchy. The bill, based on a 2021 agreement between Canada and the Manitoba Métis Federation, has sparked controversy, with First Nations leaders accusing Canada of stirring division and MMF President David Chartrand defending the bill. Conservative MPs and other Métis groups have also weighed in, with the government claiming they consulted with all First Nations in Manitoba. As debate continues, this clash over rights and land is set to intensify.
