​"​Nimeytaen ainwapimitan" I am glad to see you!​



​"​Our goal when building this site was to the provide content to help people connect with their past and with their future as Métis people. We feel very strongly that language is a central component of identity and have thus attempted to make the language lessons easy to follow and fun to use."​
