The BC Métis Federation (BCMF) is proud to share a summary of the Pacific Northwest Métis Knowledge Partnership Project. This report highlights the invaluable contributions of project participants and Métis community researchers from Kelowna, Terrace, Fort Nelson, and Clearwater. The success of this initiative was made possible through the engagement of these communities and the dedication of the researchers who generously shared their knowledge and expertise.
The Pacific Northwest Métis Knowledge Partnership Project stands as a powerful testament to the importance of Métis perspectives in the broader narrative of reconciliation and knowledge sharing. By documenting and preserving Métis cultural knowledge, this project helps ensure it is carried forward for future generations. It represents a collective effort to strengthen Métis identity and heritage in British Columbia while deepening connections between Métis communities and the wider cultural landscape.
BCMF extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund and the Archdiocese of Vancouver for their generous financial support, which made this important work possible. Their commitment to engaging Métis communities has been vital in advancing Métis cultural knowledge and securing its place in the ongoing journey of reconciliation. BCMF also wishes to acknowledge the Archdiocese of Vancouver for contributing their own report on this collaboration, Uncovering the Forgotten History of Métis Contributions in the Pacific Northwest.
