The Métis Nation of Ontario(MNO) brings Métis people together to celebrate and share their rich culture and heritage and to forward the aspirations of the Métis people in Ontario as a collective. Initially formed in 1994, after a founding delegates meeting that included Métis people from across the Province of Ontario the MNO focuses on nation building. This dynamic is what has allowed the MNO to realize its monumental successes in such a short period of time and is what has brought our people together to claim our inheritance within the province of Ontario. 2, record 2, English, - M%C3%A9tis%20Nation%20of%20Ontario

As a result, in March 1983, the Métis Nation separated from the Native Council of Canada to form the Métis National Council(MNC)-its own Métis-specific national representative body. Since 1983, the MNC has represented the Métis Nation nationally and internationally. It receives its mandate and direction from the democratically elected leadership of the Métis Nation's governments from Ontario westward. Overall, the MNC' s central goal is to secure a healthy space for the Métis Nation's on-going existence within the Canadian federation. 2, record 3, English, - M%C3%A9tis%20National%20Council

Le Ralliement national des Métis (RNM) est le représentant national de la nation métisse du Canada. Il a été fondé en 1983 après que la Loi constitutionnelle de 1982 a reconnu les Métis comme peuple distinct possédant des droits ancestraux. Le RNM représente la voix de la nation métisse durant les négociations constitutionnelles qui se tiennent à l'échelle nationale, et joue le rôle de porte-parole et de négociateur des Métis auprès du gouvernement du Canada et durant des conférences et forums nationaux. 2, record 3, French, - Ralliement%20national%20des%20M%C3%A9tis
