1930: The Natural Resources Transfer Agreement returned control of natural resources to the three Prairie Provinces. The Métis are impacted by paragraph 12 which argued that the Indians have the right to harvest food on unused Crown land.
1935: The Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act became legislation. The act created common community pastures, which eventually led to the forced removal of many Métis living along unused Crown land.
1995: The Métis Nation of Saskatchewan and the Province of Saskatchewan signed a memorandum of understanding regarding management of the province’s wildlife resources.
 1995: R. v. Morin and Daigneault. Bruce Morin and Dennis Daigneault, from Turnor Lake, Saskatchewan, first had their court case heard in provincial court in Buffalo Narrows.  The two were charged with fishing violations. The Saskatchewan Court of Queen’s Bench affirmed that they had an Aboriginal right to harvest fish via s. 32 of the Constitution.
 1995: R. v. Grumbo. In this case, John Grumbo (Grandbois) was charged under The Wildlife Act for receiving deer meat from a First Nations person. The appellant unsuccessfully argued before a provincial court in Yorkton that the Métis have an “Indian” right to hunt on unoccupied Crown lands via paragraph 12 of the 1930 Natural Resources Transfer Agreement. 
1996: (April). Morin and Daigneault are acquitted for fishing without licences because the court ruled that the 1906 Scrip Commission did not extinguish their Aboriginal rights to fish. The court ruling also decreed that this right was protected by s.35 of the Constitution.
 1996: (August). John Grumbo was acquitted on an appeal to the Court of Queen’s Bench.  With this ruling, any person of Métis ancestry could hunt without a licence in Saskatchewan, including Métis from outside the province.
1998: (May). The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal overturned the Court of Queen’s Bench decision in R. v. Grumbo. The court decided that they were not sure if the Métis had the same hunting rights as Indians via the 1930 Natural Resources Transfer Agreement.
 1998: (May). Saskatchewan Environment and Resource Management implemented a policy whereby Métis living in the Northern Administrative District had an Aboriginal right to hunt and fish.  However, Métis living elsewhere in this province did not have this right. 
2002:  (January 28, 2002). The Province of Saskatchewan proclaimed The Métis Act, which recognized the Métis as unique and founding people of the province. The act also strengthened the bilateral process through continued negotiations.

2003: (September 19). In R. v. Powley, the Supreme Court of Canada declared that the Métis appellants, Steve and Rod Powley, had an Aboriginal right to hunt through s. 32 of the Constitution.  Further, this right could apply to any Métis living in the Métis Homeland if the Métis appellant could demonstrate a connection to a historic Métis community. The case impacted Métis case law across Canada.


 2003: (September 19).  In R. v. Blais, the Supreme Court of Canada declared that the Métis were not “Indians” under the hunting rights provision of the Natural Resources Transfer Agreement.  The status of Métis hunting rights awaited the province’s final interpretation of the recent Supreme Court decisions, R. v. Powley and R. v. Blais, which argued that the Métis possess “Indian” hunting rights.
