In September 2019, the MMF began the process of leaving the Métis National Council (MNC). It said its primary reason for withdrawal was that the historic communities composing the Métis Nation of Ontario lack connection to the Red River Métis. This withdrawal from the MNC was completed in September 2021.
In 2024, The Manitoba Métis Federation became the first modern Métis government to sign a treaty with the federal government.
