“Featuring the voices of Métis elders, artists, activists and scholars, Lii Michif Niiyanaan (We Are Métis) makes an essential contribution to this national conversation. The film is a love letter to the courage, determination, and resilient spirit of the Métis nation, and a call for all Canadians to embrace the richness of their shared history.”
