Cultural Revitalization
-
- Our culture is the cornerstone of who we are as Métis people. It defines us in every way from the food we eat, to our languages, arts and music. Preserving our Métis culture and sharing it with our youth and children is more than a goal for BCMF, it is to prevent our extinction.
Michif Language Project
-
- BC Métis Federation is proud to be in partnership with Heritage Canada on a new Michif language initiative entitled, Revitalization of Our Michif Language Project in BC.
- The Michif language heavily influenced our Métis culture. BC Métis Federation recognizes the integral importance of the Michif language, which is at risk of being lost forever.
Voting Rights
