Les Femmes Michif Otipemisiwak places high value in centering Métis culture, teachings, traditions and ways of life in all of our policy areas. We engage Elders and Knowledge Keepers in our work to ground us.

Strategic Priorities

Métis women hold integral roles as Knowledge Keepers and continue to share Métis culture and traditions throughout the generations.

Métis women continue to participate in a variety of traditional Métis activities, such as speaking Michif, gathering wild plants and berries, beadwork and finger weaving. We are continuing to reclaim these traditional roles, to pass on traditional knowledge to revitalize our culture and to empower future generations.
