What does sustainability look like through a Métis lens?

A new study co-authored by MNO Environment and Climate Change Manager Jesse Fieldwebster explores the development of the Manyèr èkawlawjik michif de traké (MEMT), a Métis-focused ecological footprint calculator designed to reflect Métis knowledge, language, values, and ways of life.

Developed in partnership with Métis youth, knowledge holders, and community members, the tool helps connect traditional practices with modern environmental decision-making while supporting community-driven solutions for the future.

Congratulations to everyone involved in this innovative project that brings Métis perspectives to the forefront of sustainability research.

At the 33rd MNO Annual General Assembly, MNO citizens attended the Love Yourself First Panel to learn more about breast health, screening, and supports available to Métis citizens.

The panel brought together health experts to share information on breast screening, culturally sensitive programs, and resources for those navigating a breast cancer diagnosis.

These important conversations don’t stop at the AGA. The Love Yourself First program continues to provide education, awareness, and support to Métis citizens throughout the year.

Looking to bring Métis stories into early learning classrooms?

Join us for a virtual Lunch and Learn on Wednesday, September 9, at 10:00 a.m. EDT to explore The Real Life Superhero: The Powley Family board book.

This early learning resource supports literacy development while introducing young children to Métis history, values, and storytelling. At the heart of the story is Steve Powley, a Métis rights champion whose legacy helps children explore courage, inclusion, and standing up for what is right.

The session is ideal for educators and caregivers looking to bring Métis culture and stories into early learning environments. It will be facilitated by the MNO’s Early Learning and Child Care Advisors, and participants will receive a free copy of the board book while supplies last.
