Our National Indigenous History Month series continues with a look at Michif and its connection to Métis history, identity and culture.

In the late 1700s and early 1800s, many Métis people were part of multilingual communities, speaking First Nations, European and regional trade languages. From this multilingual history, distinct Métis languages emerged under the name Michif. For generations, Michif was used in bison-hunting parties, wintering camps, and community life across the Plains.

Today, Michif can refer to several Métis language varieties, including Heritage Michif, Northern Michif (also known as Michif-Cree) and Michif French. These varieties reflect the different regions, histories and communities that have shaped Métis language over time.

Like many Indigenous languages, Michif has been deeply affected by colonization and language loss. Today, Elders, speakers, families and communities continue to carry Michif forward for future generations by sharing stories, teachings and cultural knowledge.

Learning even a few words or phrases is one way to honour Michif and support its continued presence for generations to come.

The Red River region holds a central place in Métis history.

Located near the forks of the Red and Assiniboine rivers in what is now Manitoba, the Red River Settlement was part of Rupert’s Land, a vast territory claimed and administered by the Hudson’s Bay Company. As Métis communities developed along fur trade routes across Canada’s historic northwest, Red River became the largest settlement and an important centre of Métis life, culture and nationhood.

Métis families built communities along the waterways, developing distinct ways of life rooted in trade, bison hunting, harvesting, transportation, language, family and community governance.

When the Hudson’s Bay Company transferred Rupert’s Land and the North-Western Territory to the newly created Dominion of Canada, the Métis of Red River resisted, concerned that Canada would not respect their rights and freedoms. Under the leadership of Louis Riel, the Métis established a provisional government and negotiated with Canada, leading to the creation of Manitoba in 1870.

Today, the Red River region remains deeply connected to Métis identity, history and the Métis Nation Homeland.
