Plaintiffs asked for three judicial declarations: that Métis and non-status Indians are considered "Indians" in the Constitution Act, 1867, that federal Crown owes a fiduciary duty to the two groups, and that they have the right to be consulted and negotiated with by the federal government.

Case involved lands promised in the Manitoba Act, 1870 and the contention that legislation enacted by Manitoba government, which affected implementation of the Act, was not within the province's jurisdiction.
