No

Metis is a mix of Native and French Canadian

Their history goes back to old fur trade in the late 1700s, when the French traders would go inland and marry Native wives (very useful in the fur trade - they spoke the local languages, could live off the land, etc.) ... the English preferred to stay near the shores of Hudson’s Bay, and didn’t mingle as much

They have a distinctive attire - the red sash - and their flag uses our math symbol for “infinity”
