The Metis Settlements flag, depicts the outline similar to the Canadian flag. The two outside bars with the signs of infinity represent the eight Metis Settlements land areas and keep the infinity sign of Louis Riel’s Metis flag. The circle of life in the centre reflects the joining of two cultures, the red symbolizes our Native ancestry. The white represents our French and Scottish ancestry. The brown is our new vibrant Metis culture. Within the circle two peoples join hands and invite ours into the circle with their extended hands. The bottom half has the letter “M” for Metis.
