📖✨ February is Indigenous Storytelling Month! ✨📖

Storytelling has always been a cornerstone of Indigenous and Métis culture. It’s through stories that history, traditions, and values are passed down from generation to generation. These stories keep us connected to our roots, our ancestors, and the vibrant culture that defines who we are as Métis people.

This February, join Métis Nation–Saskatchewan in celebrating the beauty and significance of storytelling in our culture. The Métis Gathering website is a great place to go to find language, cultural, and teaching resources to celebrate and honour Métis culture and history. Check it out this month!

Did you know the MN–S government supports Métis citizens and families across the province searching for a place to live or to make their current surroundings more comfortable? In 2019, MN–S introduced the First Time Home Buyers’ and Emergency Repair Programs, and since then 2,465 Métis citizens have participated and benefitted. In 2025, another 343 citizens will go through the programs and see real benefits to their homes and lives. Safe and affordable housing is a human right. Métis self-government helps ensure these important programs and services remain available to all MN–S citizens for decades to come.

Leonard Peltier Granted Executive Clemency

After 50 years of unjust incarceration and the tireless efforts of intergenerational grassroots organizing and advocacy, our elder and relative Leonard Peltier has been granted executive clemency.

There is no real justice after losing 50 years of freedom, but today, our hearts burst with joy and gratitude for our uncle Leonard.

Today, we remember the countless prayers that were said for Leonard. We remember and honor those who organized, mobilized, took to the streets, rallied, signed petitions, called representatives, lifted up his story, and fought against Leonard’s unjust incarceration across the U.S. and internationally— especially those who did not live long enough to see the end of it.

Our hearts are with our relatives who are still unjustly incarcerated and continue to be targets of police and state violence. Although this fight to release Leonard Peltier from prison is over, the fight for justice and the healing of our People from systems that continue to target, criminalize, incarcerate, and murder our people is a fight we continue to take on here at NDN Collective, and for the protection of Indigenous rights globally.

Please continue to hold Leonard in your hearts, and say prayers for all that comes next for him. His feet will soon be on the soil of his homelands.
