Acknowledgement
Les Femmes Michif Otipemisiwak is immensely grateful for the work of Grandmother Linda Boudreau-Semaganis.
The wisdom of our Métis Grandmothers guides our hearts and work, and Grandmother Linda’s knowledge, care, and leadership have been a gift to our Sexual and Reproductive Health Project. Her tireless advocacy for Métis women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people—especially her courage in speaking out on the tragedy of MMIWG2S+—has strengthened our path forward.
Walking alongside her in this work has been an honour and a privilege.
“When women gather, healing begins” – Words learned by Grandmother Linda Boudreau-Semaganis.

Storytelling to Improve Sexual & Reproductive Health
Storytelling is one of the oldest ways people have shared information about many parts of life. Stories are unique to our families. Stories carry medicine.
Body Sovereignty is about respecting, honouring and reclaiming your whole self.
Decolonizing healthcare is an important step in healing Métis people and communities.
Our ancestors understood that menstruation is a reflection of the moon’s cycles, just as nature has its own rhythms and cycles.
Empowering Metis Voices in Reproductive Health
Understanding body sovereignty in healthcare is essential for Métis people.
For Métis people, holistic wellness is more than just physical health.
Stages of Life: Navigating Menopause
Menopause is a natural and powerful stage of life that brings opportunities for self-reflection, renewal, and spiritual growth.
Sexual & Reproductive Health Bundles
As Métis people, our health journeys are deeply connected to our culture, history, and identities.
