The Metis

The Metis were people that were living by the French Culture. They speak the language of Michif, which is a language that consist's of French nouns and Cree verbs. There was lots of Metis and over time the Metis could of been anyone as long as they were a First Nation or a European that adopted to the French Culture and speak the language of the Metis. The Metis were important to the French and most of the First Nations woman married the French Canadian Traders that were mostly the Metis. The Metis hunted a lot, on the buffalo hunt and the hunt for the hunters were dangerous but it was a major resource for them. The resource was pemmican since the buffalo produced meat and the buffalo was brought back to the people buy women and children on a horse attached by Red River Carts. The Metis was important, because they hunted the buffalo and made pemmican that they traded to make profit and planted crops and farmed so they could live and have food for all the Metis and the French including the First Nations women.

 The Metis still use the Red River Carts along the streets to transport things.
 The Metis are mixed racists and religions, because they were born into different Nations.
The Metis transported buffalo meat to make into pemmican using horses and Red River Carts.
