Metis Settlement
<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Métis Settlement is a dataset comprised of all the polygons that represent Métis Settlements lands in Alberta. Métis Settlements are lands set apart by provincial legislation for the use and benefit of the members of the eight Métis Settlements in Alberta. The legal title of these lands rests with the Métis Settlements General Council, a legislated-body that holds the fee simple interest on all Métis settlement lands, equivalent to full ownership of the land, with certain limited rights reserved for the Crown. The provincial government has primary jurisdiction over these lands and the people living on them.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
The Métis Settlement dataset provides users with GIS ready polygonal representation of all Métis Settlements in the province of Alberta, and is suitable for indexing or analysis purposes.

Metis
Approximately 5,600 people live on the eight Métis Settlements in Alberta (this includes settlement members living off-settlement), including: Buffalo Lake Métis Settlement, East Prairie Métis Settlement, Elizabeth Métis Settlement, Fishing Lake Métis Settlement, Gift Lake Métis Settlement, Kikino Métis Settlement, Paddle Prairie Métis Settlement and Peavine Métis Settlement. Each individual parcel of land within a Métis Settlement has a Métis Title. This is a legal ownership interest in the settlements land, subject to the fee simple interest held by the Métis Settlements General Council (MSGC). While the MSGC holds the overall ownership (fee simple) of settlements lands, individual parcels can be owned by the settlement itself or by its members through Métis titles. In 1938, responding to the problems in health, education and the general welfare of the Métis population, the Government of Alberta passed the Métis Population Betterment Act, which set aside colonies (now referred to as Métis Settlements) for Métis people. In doing so, Alberta became the first province in Canada to enact legislation specific to Métis. In 1989, the Government of Alberta and the Alberta Federation of Métis Settlement Associations signed the Alberta-Métis Settlements Accord, legislation and agreements with various components for: the constitutional protection of Settlement lands, the development of local government, provincial financial commitments and the co-management of subsurface resources. In 1990, The Accord led to the province passing four pieces of legislation: the Métis Settlements Accord Implementation Act; Métis Settlements Land Protection Act; Constitution of Alberta Amendment Act; and the Métis Settlements Act. Eight Métis Settlement corporations and the MSGC were established as legal entities with defined jurisdiction over land and governance; and a total of 1.25 million acres of land was transferred to the MSGC through letters patent. The land and rights of Métis Settlements are uniquely protected under Alberta's constitution. Defining documents for the layer are Registered Plans from Land Titles.

Base Features Source Data includes arc layers of ATS, Hydrography, Hypsography and Access
Alberta Data Partnerships Cadastral Source Data includes block, lot, plan, ownership, right-of-way and legal subdivision arcs
Other sources include digital reference file and constructed arcs
Base Features Geoadministrative Areas Provincial Boundary
The Métis Settlement boundary is built by selecting and putting available Source Data (described below) into an edit environment of the layer, to assemble the Geoadministrative Areas (GA) boundary.
The GA boundary built uses Base Features (BF) Source Data which includes arc layers of Alberta Township System (ATS), Hydrography, Hypsography and Access. In cases where BF Source Data does not exist, Alberta Data Partnerships (ADP) Cadastral Source Data including block, lot, plan, ownership and right-of-way are used. Legal Subdivision (LSD) arcs supplied by ADP are also used. ATS data layer is considered to be the foundation by which all other Source Data should be registered with when the GA boundary layer is compiled. The Cadastral Source Data maintained by ADP is used in the hierarchy order of block, lot, plan and right-of-way; regardless which version it is. The ADP cadastral representation of ATS and Hydrography is not used. The ADP LSD arcs are used for boundary segments that are interpreted as aligning with legal subdivision lines according to the defining document, but the representation of Section, Quarter Section and Road Allowance are not allowed to be used as these lines should be derived from the BF ATS Source Data. If none of the above Source Data is available and the defining document refers a specific elevation or contour, Hypsography contour data is used. If no source arc for the particular contour or elevation exists, interpolation of the contour or elevation graphically is obtained by averaging between successive contours on either side of the range of elevation values. If the defining document describes a mountain peak, interpretation of the contours to determine the highest point of the peak is determined or in certain cases a spot height point in the Hypsography cartographic layer is used to identify the peak. If the defining document describes a boundary segment as Height-of-Land (HOL), HOL data is captured by digitization or graphical construction.
In cases if the GA boundary is described, but no Source Data is available except from a digital reference file provided by data authority, with data authority's expressed permission, arcs are copied from the digital reference file. Segments of the boundary which adjoin to Provincial Boundary or National Park, arcs are copied from these 2 layers to define the GA boundary so that the layer does conform to these 2 key layers.
Once all the Source Data has been copied and put into the edit environment, Constructed arcs are used to close polygon in cases where a gap between 2 Source Data arcs exceeds 0.001 meters. If a gap is less than 0.001 meters, one of the Source Data is extended to close the polygon, in accordance with the Source Data edit hierarchy i.e. with the highest order of importance to the least importance which is in the order of ATS, Hydrography, Hypsography, ADP data, Access, Height-of-Land or digitized arcs and digital reference file. Spatial relationship of the boundary layer compiled is maintained with the Base Features (BF) Source data and other Source Data with the geometry of all the Source Data remains unaltered throughout the editing process. Edit tolerance is set to zero for node snap and arc snap. The GA polygons compiled have all the linework precisely closed.
Attribute tables are created according to item definition, with only one label point exists per GA polygon.
Clean processes on the Source Data beyond the tolerances specified above are prohibited. Source Data is edited manually in order to maintain polygon topology using BUILD processes. After polygons are built, they are attributed according to the Base Features GA Specification table standard i.e. CODE and NAME. The formatted polygon attribute values are validated with Métis Settlement codes and legal names obtained from the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, Aboriginal Affairs.
Initial compilation. The GA boundary was compiled in Phase 1 (1999/2000). Phase 1 source data was obtained directly from the Data Distribution Unit of Informatics Branch as the data was not available through Spatial Database Engine (SDE) repository at that time. Subsequent Geoadministrative Areas (GA) Phase 2 and Phase 3 compilation source data were extracted from SDE which embedded "shift" during the extraction process, resulting in slight differences in position of linework of Phase 1 GA datasets with the other GA layers.

Revised data structure. Correction of Elizabeth Settlement boundary in the area of 59-2-W4.
2006-07-01T00:00:00
Reconciled to ATS v4.1.
2008-02-01T00:00:00
Reconciled and conformed to ATS V4.1 Alberta Provincial Boundary which was compiled by Alberta Data Partnerships Ltd. (ADP) on behalf of the Government of Alberta (GOA). The ATS V4.1 Alberta Provincial Boundary is considered definitive for GOA use which supersedes all previous versions. The ATS V4.1 Alberta Provincial Boundary was compiled in 8th decimal place geographic coordinates (GCS_North_American_1983) and which was geoprocessed to NAD 1983 10 TM AEP Forest coordinate system, using ESRI ArcGIS application.
