Métis women’s health and wellbeing scoping review: Resurgence in action
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 arti…
Generations of gardeners regenerating the soil of sovereignty in Moose Cree First Nation: An account of community and research collaboration
The challenges northern remote communities in Canada face acquiring regular access to affordable and healthy food have been well documented. Our Indigenous Health Research Group, made up of an informal network of researchers from universities across Canada, has partnered with northern communities, Tribal Councils, and Political organizations (Assembly of First Nations, Nishnawbe Aski Nation) in Yukon, Northwest Territories, British Columbia, and …
Repenser les grands récits sur Marie-Anne Gaboury à partir d’une perspective wahkotowin
Notre texte vise à repenser la construction du récit de Marie-Anne Gaboury à partir d’une perspective wahkotowin (ses lois, éthiques et pratiques) afin d’établir une relation saine au territoire, avec nos relations Métis ainsi qu’avec d’autres peuples autochtones. Notre recherche contribue à valoriser la perspective féministe autochtone afin de réimaginer le récit dominant à partir d’une perspective relationnelle et de démanteler la hiérarchie de…
The Privilege of Not Walking Away: Indigenous Women’s Perspectives of Reconciliation in the Academy
The release of the 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) report titled “Honouring the Truth and Reconciling for the Future” has evoked a persistent call within learning institutions to Indigenize education, decolonize systems of power, and reconcile Indigenous–settler relations and knowledge. Within this context, the TRC’s “Calls to Action” are frequently invoked by institutions attempting to achieve just action. While reconciliation rem…
Local food development in the Moose Cree First Nation: Taking steps to build local food sustainability
It has been well documented that northern Indigenous communities in Canada have disproportionately high rates of food insecurity which is contributing to chronic health conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Indigenous communities face complex challenges getting regular access to healthy food, whether through traditional food harvesting practices or through imported market food items. In response, many Indigenous communities are seeking …
Can selling traditional food increase food sovereignty for First Nations in northwestern Ontario (Canada)
The disparity between rates of food insecurity experienced in households across Canada (8.3%) and in Indigenous households specifically (nearly half) is alarming. Many previous studies have demonstrated the physical, spiritual, mental, social and emotional benefits of consuming traditional foods (primarily wild animal food sources and wild edible plants), yet many Indigenous peoples in northern Ontario feel they do not have access to enough of th…
Project George: An Indigenous Land-Based Approach to Resilience for Youth
The research shared in this article seeks an understanding of Indigenous resilience within the context of a culturally responsive land-based initiative, Project George, led by the Moose Cree First Nation, also known as the Omushkego people. The initiative centres core Cree values, community engagement, and land-based skills to ensure the well-being of youth. Their Homeland is located in the waterways and on the western shores of the Hudson and Ja…
Métis women gathering: Visiting together and voicing wellness for ourselves
Given the limited research by Métis women, and with Métis women, this article focuses on the impact of Métis women gathering for the purpose of sharing Métis women’s knowledge. The aim of our research is to learn Métis women’s perspectives, specifically the ways in which gathering and visiting together affects our wellness. The geographical focus was specific to kinship systems along the South Saskatchewan river, near St. Louis, Saskatchewan. Thi…
Exploring the Effectiveness of Métis Women’s Research Methodology and Methods: Promising Wellness Research Practices
In this article, we share our experience conducting research with Métis women as Métis women researchers. We engaged in promising research practices through visiting, ceremony, and creative methods of art and writing embedded in what we identify as a learning-by-doing practice. Through collaborative and Indigenous relational methodology, we sought to support a culturally safe, nurturing space where Métis women could learn from one another and exp…
Keeoukaywin: The Visiting Way - Fostering an Indigenous Research Methodology
Decolonizing research methodologies are increasingly becoming the forefront of research with, for and/or by Indigenous peoples. This paper aims to highlight an Indigenous research methodology that emerged from a Metis researcher’s relation with Omushkego people from Moose Cree First Nation (Moose Factory, Ontario, Canada) during my doctoral research from 2012 to 2016. The contents of the article represent a decolonizing process of doing research …

Urban Indigenous cultural productions in Quebec: Vital connections to cultural reconstruction
This article aims to address a gap in research regarding the dynamics that underpin Indigenous cultural productions in urban areas in Quebec (Canada), to gain an understanding of conditions, practices and relationships surrounding urban Indigenous cultural productions, and to examine their role in cultural reconstruction. The research findings point to how urban Indigenous cultural productions are vital to the survival and reconstruction of Indig…
It's in Our Blood: Indigenous women's knowledge as a critical path to women's well-being
The research reported in this article sought to shed light on the North, Central and South American indigenous moon time teachings related to the menstrual cycle of women. The historical institutionalization, medicalization and colonization of indigenous women's practices have devalued and almost destroyed this knowledge. This study explored the question of whether or not lost indigenous knowledge of women's power can be reclaimed for women's hea…
Dismantling the Patriarchal Altar from Within
This article explores the relationship with identity, memory, and power, and how personal and collective relationship is negotiated within patriarchal and colonial ideology; it is a Métis woman's narrative. It calls attention to the dominant discourse, the patriarchy within, the subjugation of body and otherness, the perpetuation of trauma, and the process of healing. It is based within the tenets of Indigenous epistemology: prayer, relationship,…
