description Introduction In Canada, Métis people are one of three distinct Indigenous peoples whose rights are recognised and affirmed in Section 35 of the federal Constitution Act, 1982. In line with Métis people having a unique culture, history, language and way of life, a distinctions-based approach is critical to understand the current landscape of Métis-specific health. In this paper, we present a scoping review protocol to describe this research landscape in Canada led by the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO).Methods and analysis This scoping review protocol is reported in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews reporting guidelines and follows Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review methodology. We will search electronic databases (Scopus, MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, APA PsycINFO, Anthropology Plus, Bibliography of Indigenous Peoples of North America, Canadian Business and Current Affairs, Indigenous Studies Portal, Informit Indigenous Collection, Collaborative Indigenous Garden, PubMed, ProQuest), grey literature sources and reference lists from selected papers. Two reviewers (HMB and SK) will double-blind screen all titles/abstracts and full-text studies for inclusion. Any health-related study or health report that includes a Métis-specific health, well-being or Métis social determinant of health outcome will be included. Relevant variables will be extracted following an iterative process whereby the data charting will be reviewed and updated.Ethics and dissemination Findings from this scoping review will be shared back through the MNO’s existing community-based communication channels. Traditional academic dissemination will also be pursued. Research ethics board approval is not required, since data are from peer-reviewed publications or publicly shared health reports and knowledge translation products.
