Métis women

Métis women are Indigenous women who are part of the Métis Nation, a distinct Indigenous group in Canada with mixed Indigenous and European ancestry. Historically, they played vital roles in their communities as caregivers, leaders, and cultural transmitters, preserving Métis language, traditions, and history. Métis women have contributed significantly to the social and economic fabric of Métis society, often balancing traditional practices with modern life. Despite facing challenges such as discrimination and marginalization, they continue to advocate for recognition, rights, and the preservation of their cultural identity.
