The Métis Languages

Métis people have long lived within rich multilingual environments across their homelands. Today, Métis communities speak and work to revitalize several Métis languages, including nêhiyawêwin/Cree, Northern Michif, French Michif, and Southern Michif. These languages reflect generations of family relationships, travel, trade, and deep connections to land and community.

Our work focuses on supporting the revitalization of Métis languages through collaboration with Elders, Speakers, learner speakers, educators, and communities. This includes developing learning opportunities, documentation, and resources that reflect the voices and knowledge of Métis communities.
