Having fulfilled two of the three criteria for identification as a Metis
person, you are certainly fully justified in identifying yourself as a
Metis person. If you answered -no- or -don't know- to the Aboriginal ancestry
question, your decision to identify yourself as a Metis person can only
be fully validated through the support of a Metis community or organization.
This validation would only be necessary if you are seeking some social
or economic benefit through your identification as a Metis person. If you
are not seeking social or economic benefit, it is unlikely anyone would
have a reason to challenge your assertion of Metis identity.
