Metis get nothing right now (could change with a recent court ruling). They did extend treaty rights to a new generation about a year ago. However since that generation are pretty much over 30 the only real benefit is no GST on big purchases.
However if you look t the Metis (especially up north) they are successful and not prone to the same substance issues that the rest of the native population is. Is that because they have never had the benefits ? I think it plays a role.
