Michif Language

Michif is the distinct, Indigenous language of the Métis. In Alberta, this language draws, in varying degrees by dialect, from the French and Cree languages spoken by ancestors of Métis. It was first developed orally and was later made into a written language. Rupertsland Centre for Teaching and Learning is dedicated to revitalizing the Michif language in Alberta through courses, educational resources, videos, and more, designed to support lifelong learners of all backgrounds.
