Daniels v. Canada (Indian Affairs and Northern Development), 2016 SCC 12 Should the Mtis and non-status Indigenous persons be recognized as Indians under section 91(24)

Daniels v. Canada (Indian Affairs and Northern Development), 2016 SCC 12 Should the Métis and non-status Indigenous persons be recognized as “Indians” under section 91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867? Daniels asked the Court to declare that the Queen owes a fiduciary duty to them, and that they have the right to be consulted by the Federal Government on a collective basis, as a show of respect for their rights, interests, and needs as Indigenous People. What evidence is pertinent to such an inquiry, seeing as the relevant legislation was enacted over 150 years ago?
