Welcome to the Métis Centre of NAHO

The Métis Centre is a Métis-controlled centre of the National Aboriginal Health Organization (NAHO). The Métis Centre is dedicated to improving the mental, physical, spiritual, emotional and social health of all Métis in Canada. We are a centre devoted to promoting Métis health issues through public education and health promotion.

Through the advancement and sharing of health information, the Métis Centre is working to:

  • Improve the knowledge base in Métis health.
  • Promote Métis health issues at the national and provincial levels.
  • Facilitate community-based health research.
  • Support capacity building in Métis communities.

The Métis Centre also believes that the key to community wellness lies in the transmission of traditional knowledge and healing practices. Affirming and protecting traditional knowledge, as a means to enhancing the health and well-being of Métis, is a primary goal of the Métis Centre.

Métis Youth…Show Us Your Talent!

The Métis Centre is asking Métis youth to creatively express what it is to be Métis in today’s world using any contemporary or traditional art and/or media form. We will be holding talent shows in your area this summer and we want to film you singing, dancing, reading poetry, or expressing yourself in any other way you can think of.  You can also send submissions to the Métis Centre by mail or email.  This project will result in a DVD to be distributed across Canada.  For more information and details on locations, visit Métis Youth Expressions or contact Catherine Graham at cgraham@naho.ca.
