Road allowance community
text:
Road allowance communities were settlements established by Métis people in Canada in the late 1800s through most of the 20th century on road allowances at the margins of settler society. Road allowances are frequently unused portions of land established by the Dominion Land Survey for road and rail access to settlements. Métis people were dispossessed from their land in the late 19th century, so they frequently squatted in these unclaimed and marginal spaces.
