Currently, the
Métis Nation does not have a Constitution.
However, Métis people from throughout
the Homeland have consistently expressed their desire
to have a Métis Nation Constitution in order
to strengthen Métis nationalism and build a
stronger and more effective national governance structure.
This
site maintained by the Métis National
Council has been created to provide Métis citizens,
from throughout the Homeland, an opportunity to be
aware of, updated on, and participate in the Métis
Nation's constitutional development process.
