Who are the Metis?

  1. A group of mixed Spanish and indigenous ancestry in South America

  2. A tribe in the Amazon Rainforest

  3. A distinct people of mixed Aboriginal and European ancestry in the Prairie provinces

  4. Nomadic tribes of North Africa

The correct answer is: A distinct people of mixed Aboriginal and European ancestry in the Prairie provinces

The Metis are a distinct people of mixed Aboriginal and European ancestry that originated in the Prairie provinces of Canada. Option A is incorrect because it mentions Spanish ancestry, which is not part of the Metis heritage. Option B is incorrect because it refers to a tribe in the Amazon Rainforest, which is not the location where the Metis originated. Option D is incorrect because it refers to nomadic tribes in North Africa, which have no connection to the Metis people. Only option C accurately describes who the Metis are.
