Metis Nation of Alberta

Purpose

The Métis Nation of Alberta (MNA) is the legal and administrative arm of the Métis Nation within Alberta. Since 1928, the MNA has acted as the representative indigenous government of the Métis Nation within Alberta, based on its inherent right of self-government and self determination. The MNA currently represents over 45,000 identified Métis Citizens across the province of Alberta. The MNA is the representative government of all Metis living within Alberta, and as such, it is crucial that the MNA, as a governing entity, manages and maintains it’s own archive that conforms to existing governmental standards. The attached proposal outlines a strategy for the centralization and digitization of all materials currently possessed by the MNA.
