You are certainly entitled to do that. In fact many people of mixed ancestry would prefer to identify themselves as Indians or Inuit and that, too, is a valid option for those people. Others prefer to ignore their Aboriginal ancestry altogether and that, too, is a legitimate option.
The very fact that you are reading this document, however, indicates that you have at least some interest in your Aboriginal ancestry. This site exists to encourage you to explore possibilities that may not have occurred to you up to this point.
If you answered the first question with a -no-, and this question with a -no-, then it is unlikely you legitimately could, or would even want to, identify yourself as a Metis person. We can only assume you are surfing this site out of curiosity or in the context of research on the issue, and we welcome you to do just that.
If you answered the first question with -I don't know- and this question with a -no- it is evident that you still have a little research and a little introspection to do. We hope we can provide you with a little encouragement and a lot of information to assist you in trying to confirm or eliminate the possibility that you have Aboriginal ancestry and that you may or may not appropriately identify yourself as a Metis person.
