June is National Indigenous History Month, a time to reflect on the stories, traditions, and resilience that have carried Indigenous Peoples forward for generations. For the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, it is also a time to honour the depth of our Métis roots and the communities that helped shape our Nation. From Fort Chipewyan to Fort Vermilion, Tail Creek, St. Paul des Métis, and communities across Alberta, Métis families have built lives grounded in kinship, resilience, and a deep connection to the land.

We remember the promises that were broken, the displacement many Métis families faced, and the ways our people were too often made to feel they had to hide who they were.
