The Reason We Gather: Métis-Specific Spaces

Key Points

Métis gatherings are significant for cultural connection and community bonding, shaping identity and preserving traditions across the homelands.
The 2022 Mawachihitotaak symposium revealed critical themes and preliminary findings, enhancing understanding of contemporary Métis culture.
Observational analysis of the symposium included a post-event survey to gather feedback on participants' experiences and suggestions for future gatherings.
Supporting the continuity of Métis gatherings calls for strategic planning and proactive steps to ensure cultural engagement across communities.

Abstract

To understand the significance of the 2024 Mawachihitotaak symposium, it is essential to understand the context in which it happened, which we provide by discussing Métis gatherings across the homelands more generally before telling the story of the 2022 Mawachihitotaak symposium, sharing the preliminary findings and themes of the post-symposium survey, and finally discussing what we see as the next steps for Métis gatherings across the homeland.
