Abstract

To understand the significance of the 2024 Mawachihitotaak symposium, it is essential to understand the context in which it happened, which we provide by discussing Métis gatherings across the homelands more generally before telling the story of the 2022 Mawachihitotaak symposium, sharing the preliminary findings and themes of the post-symposium survey, and finally discussing what we see as the next steps for Métis gatherings across the homeland.
