Educational Resources
This section of the Métis Gathering site provides educators with instructional materials to incorporate Métis cultural and informational content into their teaching practices.

Here you will find resources, lesson plans, videos, and other instructional support materials. We highly recommend that these resources are not used as a substitute for connecting with Métis people and community-based organizations. Our hope is that this section provides teachers and educators a place to share content, stories, and experiences to support the incorporation of quality Métis content in their teaching strategies. If you would like to post your resources and share them on our website, please contact metisgathering@mns.ca.
