\nWhat is Metis Day?<\/p>\n
The traditional culture of our M\u00e9tis ancestors, shaped by nature, still exert strong influence on generations today, from spirituality to political attitudes. There is an undeniable relationship between M\u00e9tis culture and the way history, traditional knowledge systems, healing practices, values and norms and political and legal customs are interpreted. This relationship governs the way people live and how they interpret the world around them. If culture shapes identity, then it can be concluded that the health of an individual is directly related to the overall health and wellness of their culture. Language, culture, and heritage are all interconnected. They are all part of daily life (i.e. family and community, food, art, songs, dance, spirituality, values, land use activities) and they all interact with one another to make up a unique M\u00e9tis culture. Please join our UFV students, faculty, and staff to celebrate M\u00e9tis Day Awareness.<\/p>\n
