The Alberta plaintiffs have asked to be removed from it after the Metis Nation of Alberta and the federal government challenged the legitimacy of their claim…
The Metis Nation of Alberta says the move proves that it speaks for Alberta’s Metis and that the provincial government’s dealings with breakaway groups should stop.
The lawsuit sought damages, a declaration that Metis still hold title to the land and negotiations toward a land claim. “When the light of scrutiny is on them, it’s telling that they say we’ll just withdraw,” said Jason Madden, lawyer for the Metis Nation. The groups that brought the claim are only a few years old, said Madden. The Metis Nation of Alberta was founded in 1928.“All the parties have agreed to a three-month adjournment to give the Saskatchewan parties a chance to decide what they’re going to do next.”
