Who are Canadian Métis?
Canadian Métis is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Canadian Métis with other modern populations in the database.
The label should be read as a population reference name rather than a complete description of every individual, family, language, region, or community history connected with Canadian Métis.
What is Canadian Métis DNA closest to?
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Canadian Métis is Nisga'a (European-Mixed). Other nearby references include Potawatomi (European-Mixed), Blackfoot (European-Mixed), Iroquois (European-Mixed), and Tsuut'ina (European-Mixed). This gives the Canadian Métis profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.
