About THE settlements

Unique. Vibrant. Natural. Growing.

The eight Metis Settlements in Alberta are unique, vibrant, and rooted in their local natural environment. 

Together they have a land base of 1.25 million acres (528,000 hectares).

The communities are located throughout northern Alberta and are home to approximately 6,500 people.

Since 1932, a secure land base for Metis people, to ensure the protection of culture, lifestyle and traditions, has been one of the Settlement Council's primary objective.
