Michif: The Unique Language of the Métis Nation 🤝🇨🇦
Michif is a unique mixed language, primarily spoken by Métis people in Canada and the US. It typically combines Cree verbs and verb phrases with French nouns and noun phrases For example: "Good afternoon" would be "Bonn apray mijii” Efforts are underway to revitalize and preserve this endangered oral language. 🇨🇦 #Canada #Michif #Metis #IndigenousLanguages

“Blending poetry, storytelling, and community voices, the presentation weaves together reflections on identity, agency, power, and belonging within therapeutic contexts. By centering Indigenous knowledge systems alongside Western mental health frameworks, Délani invites a reimagining of care that honors both tradition and self-determined healing.”

“I can’t believe it. Those are our cousins…. I hate the thought that we are going to have this fight...nobody’s going to push us around. Not as long as I’m your president. Never.”

President David Chartrand of the Manitoba Métis Federation gave the State of the Nation address Oct. 18 at the Red River Métis’ government’s 2025 Annual General Assembly held over the weekend. It was filled with pride in recent achievement but tinged with concern and worry.
“We can’t be worried about a political party that gets elected that may not like us or want to do anything with us…. So we’ve got to get ready for the next round… We need to see the future, and we need to take control of that future.”

“procession talks about honouring those who've come before and making a space for those after. And that's really the premise of the whole book. How to be in that space in the middle.”
Métis writer Katherena Vermette says it is “incredibly humbling” when she considers that she’s here for only a finite amount of time.“When we think about what's most important, it ends up being our loved ones; those we care for and we'll leave behind when we pass from this plane. The idea of legacy. And we also come from a great legacy. We're many, many centuries into this. So, we're coming from something and building something out. It does feel incredibly humbling,” she said.
