Métis (one of three constitutionally recognized Indigenous Peoples in Canada) women’s health and wellbeing research that centers resurgence, resistance, kinship, land, and place offers an intersectional perspective that interrupts deficit-based health narratives. To understand these intersections and emerging pathways, we conducted a Métis women’s health and wellbeing scoping review to get an overall picture of breadth and depth of published articles since 2010. 29 articles fit our scoping criteria. Our findings show that Métis women’s health and wellbeing research offers insight into what Métis women are saying about their own health and wellbeing. They also demonstrate the pivots to broader understanding of identity and gender beyond binary norms, to engagement with two national inquiries, partnerships with political organizations, and COVID-19. The growing uptake on positionality reflects the ways in which Métis-centered epistemologies, methodologies, theories, and methods intersect with Métis women’s health and wellbeing.
