The Métis are one of Canada’s three Indigenous peoples. We have fought for this status on battlefields and in the land’s highest courts. Success has been hard-won and has created people who are resilient, committed, dynamic, and proud.

Our Story
Our Heritage
Métis are a distinct Indigenous nation within Canada, shaped by a resilient spirit passed down through generations. Our heritage lives in the threads of the sash, the sound of the fiddle, and the voices of our Elders who share their diverse perspectives. At Métis Crossing, you’ll find more than stories; you’ll experience what it means to be Métis today. From land-based teachings to cultural programming, our community honours the spirit of the Métis through stewardship, hospitality, and reconciliation.
Our Land
The land and river are central to who we are as Métis people. This homeland, along the North Saskatchewan River, has shaped our identity for generations. At Métis Crossing, we practice regenerative tourism to honor our ancestors and protect what sustains us. Through Indigenous-led stewardship and cultural teachings, guests experience the land as a living part of our story and the resilient spirit of the Métis Nation.
Our Board And Team
From the beginning in 2001, Métis Crossing has been led by a dedicated team and board of directors who have worked to fulfill our vision of a cultural centre conceived, designed and built by Métis people.
Our Partners
We are grateful for the continued support of our partners as we work to become a self-sustaining cultural and tourism destination. Métis Crossing also enjoys the support of many valued corporate partners.
