  1. Women’s History Month
    Oct 1, 2026 · original
    October is Women’s History Month: a time to honour the women whose courage, determination, and leadership have shaped our families and communities. For the Métis Nation, the story of our women is inseparable from the story of our people. From the matriarchs who helped build and sustain the early Métis communities of the Homeland, to the mothers, aunties, and kokums who carried our culture and language forward, to the women who stood alongside their families and communities through times of immense change and hardship. Métis women have always been the foundation of our nation. Our history was also built by the women whose work was often unseen: the women who raised children, cared for Elders, created community, preserved traditions, organized, advocated, and made sure that the next generation knew who they were and where they came from. Today, Métis women continue that legacy. We see it i
  2. Truth and Reconciliation Day: Honouring Survivors, Remembering Our Elders, Carrying Our Stories Forward
    Sep 30, 2026 · original
    EDMONTON — Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is a day to pause, listen, remember, and honour the Survivors of the residential and day school systems and those who never returned home. For the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, the legacy of these institutions is not a chapter in a history book. It is a lived reality that continues to echo through our families and communities. Across Alberta and Canada, thousands of Métis children were separated from their families and communities. They were denied their language, culture and connection to their Métis identity by a colonial system that sought to erase who they were. The impacts of that system did not end when the schools closed. Survivors, their families and communities continue to carry the effects of this history from one generation to the next. “Truth and Reconciliation asks Canadians to do more than remember,” sai
  3. Letter of Invitation to Today’s Meeting with the St. Paul Town Council
    Sep 28, 2026 · original
    On Monday, September 28, 2026, we will be advocating for our history in St. Paul, and we would love to have you stand with us. Your Otipemisiwak Métis Government will be meeting with the St. Paul Town Council to ask for two specific items: That the town consider restoring the community’s historic name, St. Paul des Métis; and The placing of a Red River Cart at a visible entrance into town. Established in 1896, St. Paul des Métis was created as a Métis agricultural settlement. In 1909, the lands were opened to non-Métis settlers, forcing Métis families from their homes, farms, and community. While the settlement itself was dismantled, the resilience of those families endured and contributed to the ongoing struggle for Métis rights, recognition, and self-government, which is a journey that continues today through the Otipemisiwak Métis Government. Many Citizens have requested we work towar
  4. Statement from the Otipemisiwak Metis Government on the introduction of Bill C39 – Building Canada Strong Act.
    Sep 24, 2026 · original
    The Otipemisiwak Métis Government recognizes Canada’s need to build a strong, independent, and sustainable economy, as laid out in the Building Canada Strong Act . For over 250 years, our people have been foundational builders of Canada’s economy, and we must carry this legacy forward as partners on responsible development projects that benefit our Citizens and their communities. However, this work must respect our constitutionally protected rights under Section 35 of the Constitution. Our government is concerned about the impact Bill C-39’s “streamlined” approach could have on Métis rights in Alberta. While this approach could improve efficiency and reduce redundancies in development regimes, it cannot come at the expense of our rights as an Indigenous government representing over 78,000 verified, Section 35 rights-bearing Citizens, and as the federally recognized representative of the
  5. President’s Corner: September 19, 2026
    Sep 18, 2026 · original
    Every year, September 30 asks something specific of me. Not just as President, but as a Métis mother and grandmother. It asks me to slow down. To listen. To remember the children who were taken. To honour the Survivors who carried what happened home with them and never let it stay buried. One day a year is not enough for what this asks of us. And I do not believe it was ever meant to be. For your government, Truth and Reconciliation Day is not a just date on a calendar. It is how we speak to our Elders, how we teach our children, how we tell the story of who we are and what was done to us. September 30 is when the whole country stops long enough to notice. But our work does not stop on October 1 and get put on hold until next September 30. This year, I feel the weight of the day more than usual. We have said goodbye this year to two strong women whose names deserve to be spoken out loud
  6. Secretary Spotlight: Valerie Quintal

    Valerie Quintal — Provincial Secretary for Housing & Infrastructure Provincial Secretary Valerie Quintal brings a lifetime of community connection, cultural strength, and pracSecretary Spotlight articletical experience to her work with the Otipemisiwak Métis Government.

  7. President’s Corner: September 5, 2026
    Sep 4, 2026 · original
    It was ninety-eight years ago, in 1928, that the Métis first began to organize politically in this province. Ninety-eight years ago, when five Métis men met in a church basement in the Cold Lake area, trying to find a way to push forward the Métis cause. In the ninety-eight years since, this government—driven by our Citizens—has carried on that mission. We have never relented in the fight for recognition of Métis rights and self-government, a struggle that began nearly a century ago in Alberta. As part of that ongoing work, we recently hosted the third annual Citizens’ Gathering in Slave Lake. As always, I am grateful for the opportunity to visit different communities across the province each year at Citizen’s Gathering, and this year was no different. The Métis community in Slave Lake is thriving, and it was a privilege to be welcomed into your community with such open arms. Twenty-eigh
  8. Statement in response to Rebel News’ messages of Residential School denialism and hate
    Sep 4, 2026 · original
    Tansi, It saddens me to have to write this statement, but we cannot let hate and violence against our people go unchallenged. At the Otipemisiwak Métis Government we are hurt and appalled by Rebel News’ decision to desecrate the importance of the orange shirt by using them to spread messages of Residential School denialism and hate. Residential School denialism is a form of violence against Indigenous people that excuses, downplays, and misrepresents the facts and impacts of Residential School on Survivors, their families, and their communities. Residential School denialism is a perpetuation of the same settler colonial ideologies and structures that have harmed and continue to harm Indigenous peoples today. Just as the sash represents more than an article of clothing, so too does the orange shirt represent something deeper and more important to our people and to our community. To so man
  9. Citizen Spotlight: Jacqueline Senych
    Sep 4, 2026 · original
    Otipemisiwak Métis Government Citizen Jacqueline Senych recently had the privilege of participating in the national launch of the Canadian Nurses Association’s The 4 Streams of Reconciliation: CNA’s Action-Oriented Framework . Jacqueline served on the Indigenous advisory group that helped co-develop the framework alongside Indigenous nursing leaders from across Canada. She was the representative for the Métis people in Canada and proudly identified herself as a Citizen of the Otipemisiwak Métis Government. The framework represents an important step forward in advancing Truth and Reconciliation within the nursing profession. It emphasizes that meaningful reconciliation requires more than good intentions; it requires Indigenous co-development, culturally safer care, accountability, advocacy, allyship, and anti-racism. Throughout the development process, Indigenous voices, lived experiences

    Aug 27, 2026 · original
