Released on December 23, 2010
The year 2010 was officially proclaimed by the province as the Year of the Métis to commemorate the unique history of Métis people and their contributions to Saskatchewan - past, present and future. It is also an opportunity to celebrate the vital role Métis women have played in the economic, social, cultural and political fabric of the province.
"As the Year of the Métis comes to a close, our government is pleased to recognize the historic and on-going contributions of Métis women to Saskatchewan and Canada," Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for Status of Women June Draude said. "Métis women have blended distinct cultures to create strong and vibrant communities, and are leaders and role models for future generations. We are proud to acknowledge their rich and diverse achievements, and encourage Saskatchewan people to learn more about the contributions they have made, and continue to make, to our country."
The first generation of Métis women in Saskatchewan were either born to European fur-traders and Indigenous women at posts such as Cumberland House (1775) and Carleton House (1790), or had accompanied their fathers or husbands into the region. They were the heart and strength of the community, traditional healers and midwives, artisans and storytellers who ensured the preservation of Métis families, communities and nations past.
Contemporary Métis women continue to seek a compromise between traditional cultural roles in the community and other roles in today's ever-changing society. They continue to demonstrate the leadership qualities passed down by their ancestors through career choices such as administrators, lawyers, teachers and business owners. Over the last 20 years, their participation in post-secondary education has dramatically increased, signifying a new era of moving forward together and contributing to all aspects of Canadian society.
To view profiles of four Métis women who have chosen diverse career paths and are demonstrating leadership in their communities, please see the Ministry of Social Services website at www.socialservices.gov.sk.ca/year-metis.
