What was the political system of the metis?

The Métis people historically operated under a unique political system that blended Indigenous and European influences, particularly from French and Scottish cultures. They formed a distinct community with their own governance structures, often led by leaders such as Louis Riel during significant events like the Red River and North-West Rebellions. The Métis established a strong sense of identity and self-governance, advocating for their rights and land through organized political actions, including the creation of the Métis National Council. Their political system emphasized communal decision-making and cultural preservation, reflecting their dual heritage.
