Canadian Citizenship Practice Test 2025

Who are the Metis people?

1. French speaking Aboriginals

2. Aboriginals with primarily British ancestry

3. Aboriginal people who are mixed First Nations and European ancestry

4. Non-Aboriginal people living in Indigenous regions

The correct answer is: Aboriginal people who are mixed First Nations and European ancestry

The Metis people are a distinct cultural group of individuals with a mixed heritage of both Indigenous First Nations and European ancestry. This makes option C the most accurate answer, as options A and B, while partially true, do not accurately capture the complexity of Metis identity. Option D is incorrect as it pertains to non-Indigenous individuals.
