GUIDELINES FOR COMPLETING YOUR APPLICATION
The MN-S Registry formalizes and clarifies citizenship requirements, aids in the accurate return of statistical data on Métis citizenship, and provides a basis for improving quality of life for all Métis people in Saskatchewan.
Any person may apply to register with the Métis Nation of Saskatchewan by completing the Citizenship Application Form that proves their connection to an Historical Ancestor who is recognized as Métis/Half-breed in the historical Métis homeland. This must be supported by the completion of a family tree that shows the generational connection, as well as the information as set out in the Citizenship Act as information that verifies proof of Métis ancestry.
A combination of any of the following documents will work to support and accompany a Citizenship Application Form:
♦ Census Records
♦ Archival Records
♦ Church Records
♦ Historic Records
♦ Genealogical Information
♦ Government Records (Long Birth Form)
The information you provide on your application form is collected under the authority of the Métis Nation of Saskatchewan Constitution and the Métis Nation of Saskatchewan Citizenship Act. Accordingly, this information is collected for the purpose of registration and any information you provided is protected under the provisions of the Citizenship Act.
