Metis (μῆτις) meant "cunningness" or "wisdom, craft, skill" in Ancient Greek.
Metis may also refer to:
Métis people as discussed in this article are a specific community and culture of indigenous people, primarily living in Canada and the central and western United States. More of the population is found in Canada, where the people were deeply involved in the fur trade.
The Métis have developed as an ethnic group from the descendants of indigenous women who married French (and later Scottish) fur trappers and traders during the 18th and 19th centuries at the height of the fur trade. At the time, the border did not exist between Canada and the British colonies as much of the area was undeveloped. Traders and trappers easily moved back and forth through the area.
The Canadian Métis have a specific, unique culture. Most are found among the Michif-speaking peoples of the Red River region in modern Manitoba. In the United States, Métis live in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin (citation needed), Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana.
In the broadest sense, the term métis was applied to people of mixed indigenous and French ancestry in French colonies; it means mixture. In this article it is also used to discuss mixed-race people who descend from the united culture created by the intermarriage of various French and British fur traders from the Atlantic Coast through the Great Lakes area and to the Rocky Mountains, and women of various Algonquian, Cree and other Native American groups during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. But this use excludes mixed-race people born of unions in other settings or more recently than about 1870.

And now you're walkin'
Jus' like you're ten foot tall
Well, go ahead
Lickin' that split, better move quick
Better not slip, better get hip
I don't think it fits, lookin' for a hoot

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Oh baby, shot for tryin'
