Alberta Metis to defy provincial hunting restrictions this fall

On September 27th, the Globe and Mail published an article entitled, "Alberta Metis to defy provincial hunting restrictions this fall".
The article addresses Metis right to hunt in Alberta. In 2003, a Supreme Court of Canada ruling that states Metis have the right to hunt and fish for food. However, earlier this year, the government implemented new rules which restrict Metis hunting and fishing to certain areas in the province. Prior to this, Metis could hunt and fish throughout the province without a licence; now they can only hunt near eight Metis settlements and 17 communities in northern Alberta. These restricted areas exclude Metis in southern and central Alberta from having legal hunting and fishing grounds.
The Metis have been trying to persuade Premier Ed Stelmach's government to change the new rules in regards to Metis hunting and fishing. However, they have been unsuccessful and are therefore going to have a traditional Metis hunt this fall on non-government designated areas. They hope this will draw attention to the issue and the government will make changes to the rules.

“Our people are going to go out and do what is traditional — hunt for their families for the winter and for the elders in the communities."

The Supreme Court of Canada in 2003 ruled that Metis have the right to hunt and fish for food. This has been a traditional practice of Metis and has been a way of survival for the people. How can the Alberta restrict this inherent right to certain areas in the province which all Metis do not have access to? If they have the right to hunt and fish for food, it should be in areas where they can access, and on traditional hunting grounds.
When First Nations and Europeans signed treaties, one of the many agreements was to allow for hunting and fishing for First Nation survival. The Metis claim the same constitutional rights as First Nations status Indians. Therefore, my understanding is that Metis should not be restricted to certain areas to hunt.
