Cultural Differences A project by Liam Murray Works cited and text…

- - - - The Northwest Territory Métis have historically engaged in what can be called a "consensus democracy." decisions were made in communal assemblies when large family and community groupings assembled. A Provisional Council or Provisional Government would be formed from chosen members to carry out certain tasks to protect the security and rights of the population as a whole.
    - - The democratically elected governments of Métis Nation of Saskatchewan, Métis Nation of Alberta, Métis Nation of British Columbia and Métis Nation of Ontario serve as the Métis Nation's representatives. These Métis governments serve as the governing members of the Métis National Council, the national and international representative of the Métis Nation, and are the modern manifestation of the Métis Nation's long-standing battle for self-determination inside the Canadian federation.
        The MNC Governing Members work to represent the Métis Nation at the local, regional, provincial, national, and international levels. The Governing Members have also demonstrated a track record of providing government services and initiatives in a fair, open, economical, and responsible way in order to satisfy the socioeconomic requirements of Métis Nation inhabitants.
  - - - An growing tradition of floral beadwork had become prevalent in Métis artwork by the 1850s. Traditional Métis beading designs have included animals, birds, abstract shapes, and other geometric patterns rooted in Métis ancestral heritages among the floral patterns. Métis beading has been used to embellish clothing, accessories, and other goods. For multiple generations, both Métis men and women utilized and wore these objects.
- - - - The Haida Nation has maintained its Aboriginal title over the entirety of Haida Gwaii, but it has withdrawn from treaty negotiations with the government of British Columbia since they were unable to come to a formal treaty agreement. As a result, the Haida have continued to engage in government-to-government negotiations with the provincial government and have been successful in reaching agreements on a number of significant issues, such as the preservation of culturally significant areas, access to resources and associated revenues, enhanced environmental protections, and continued engagement in a "shared governance" model of relations as opposed to simple self-government. #

    - - The traditional Haida social structure was centred on two main moieties, including the Eagle or the Raven, and membership was determined at birth based on maternal kinship. Each moiety was made up of a number of local groups or lineages that held rights to economically valuable territories, lived in their own villages, and had their own primary chiefs (the highest-ranking members of each village) and lower house leaders. In terms of battle, peace, religion, and economics, each bloodline operated independently of the others.

- - - - Additionally, artifacts were produced as toys, gifts, instructional aids, and decorative accents for practical items like sewing supplies and hair combs. Due of the Inuits' nomadic lifestyle, these items were typically kept fairly tiny.

  - - - In the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Nunatsiavut Government was founded as a regional government in 2005. Nunatsiavut became the first Inuit region in Canada to achieve self-government in 2006 after formal elections to the newly established Nunatsiavut Assembly were held. Rigolet, Makkovik, Postville, Hopedale (the legislative capital), and Nain (the administrative capital) are the current locations of the five Inuit community governments in Nunatsiavut. Serving the citizens of each community falls under the care of these governments. Each community government's AngajukKâk (ex-officio Assembly members) speaks for their respective constituency in the Nunatsiavut Assembly. #
    - - The Labrador Inuit did not form separate, distinct groups. The fundamental socio political units were instead families, multifamily settlements, bands, and occasionally regional bands. Leadership by male elders was valued at the home and family levels, and occasionally a man acknowledged as a skilled hunter or shaman might be given a wider leadership role. Local disputes were typically resolved in informal village councils made up of the village's oldest males.
