Erasure of Métis Culture
Tile #4 Erasure of Métis Culture
Teaching Statement:
The deliberate removal of much beloved cultural traditions, including the Michif language, severed a sense of Métis identity and family belongingness.
Reflective Questions:
What was the purpose in removing treasured personal items from children?
Why is self-identity and connection to one’s own community and family important? How can personal artifacts represent culture and identity?
