Umm I don’t know, but it was a huge thing when it happened last year and the media was collectively calling it Canada’s first?

I looked through their wiki though and I don’t see any reason that’d disqualify them?

Edit: oh further down in that link

John Norquay was the first Indigenous person to serve as premier in Manitoba, in 1878. Norquay was Métis, which are people of mixed European and Indigenous ancestry.

While other Métis people in Manitoba have served in elected office, the province’s history with First Nations people holding elected office only goes back a few decades. It wasn’t until the 1950s and ’60s that First Nations people were allowed to vote without conditions in provincial and federal elections in Canada.

So I guess it’s that they were mixed? I don’t know what that’d disqualify though?
