Module 1 – Post 3 – The Metis Centre

I found the Metis Centre when researching for articles on Metis health.  The website hosts a large, searchable database that include census referenced statistical tables and a great deal of literature on Metis health and well-being.   Also included on the website are links to current projects, cultural videos, fact sheets, and a Metis Newsletter.  The Metis Centre’s moto is, “Our Health: Strengthened by Sharing”.

From the website: “The Métis Centre is one of three population-specific centres within the National Aboriginal Health Organization (NAHO). Incorporated in 2000, NAHO is an Aboriginal founded and guided institution whose aim is to advance and promote the health and well-being of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis.  The Métis Centre strives to develop accessible, culturally relevant and safe health and well-being information for a variety of audiences including, but not limited to, researchers, governments, and Métis individuals, families, and communities.”

The Metis Centre would be a great jumping off point for any heath related research of the Metis community.
