Métis Maternal and Child Health: A Discussion Paper

This discussion paper builds on a project undertaken by the Métis Centre of the National Aboriginal Health Organization (NAHO) in British Columbia entitled Healthy Messages that showed Métis often connect physical health with broader determinants such as income, housing, spirituality, and community. Maternal-child health is seen as connected to both the health of the family and the community. The objective of this discussion paper is to develop a foundation for future research in this area. The goal was to examine existing literature regarding Métis maternal and child health, as well as to analyze interviews of Métis from across Canada. (Métis Centre, 2011)
