Help Shape the Future of Métis Children’s Health
MNO Sharing Circles
Are you a Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) citizen who is a caregiver of children aged 5-15, or a young Métis citizen aged 10-15? If so, this is your chance to help shape Métis children’s programs by joining MNO sharing circles. Your input will help uplift Métis children’s voices and guide how we support them.
Why Métis Children’s Health Matters
Studies show Indigenous children, including Métis, report poorer health than non-Indigenous children. To change this, our researchers are gathering specific data on Métis children’s health to better address their unique needs and support Métis data sovereignty.
The MNO is focusing on the health needs of school-aged Métis children (ages 5-15), an area that lacks sufficient programs. This project builds on previous work for Métis youth and is led by a Métis graduate student to build research capacity within the community.
Study Goals:
- Review health data for Indigenous children aged 5-15 and assess existing programs.
- Use Indigenous research methods to understand Métis children’s health needs.
- Share findings with MNO communities to address gaps in services for Métis children.
