Affordable housing for Metis elders under construction

Construction of a new affordable housing project for Métis elders is officially underway. Local politicians and delegates were in attendance to break ground on the Round Prairie Elders’ Lodge, a 26-unit in the Pleasant Hill neighbourhood Friday. Métis Nation–Saskatchewan (MN-S) President Glen McCallum is hailing the project as a big first step to broadly provide affordable housing for Metis people. “Investing in the Round Prairie Elders’ Lodge project brings us one further step forward in our MN–S Government housing capacity building strategy for all MN–S citizens. Our elders are our experts. Our elders have worked hard to be able to establish the well-being of our nation and we must care for their well-being also,” he said in a statement.

  Canadian Geographic and Métis Nation-Saskatchewan (MN-S) have joined forces on a first of its kind podcast that hopes to breathe life into the endangered Michif language through a lens that is authentically Métis.   Hosted by Métis artist, mentor and author Leah Dorion, the first 10 episodes of ‘Paykiiwikay’ give listeners an intimate glimpse of the cultural driving force behind Métis communities in Saskatchewan.   “Paykiiwikay is the Métis word for ‘come and visit.’ And that’s what it is. Coming to the table and visiting, even though it was virtually recorded,” Dorion said.   Dorion traces her roots back to Cumberland House and has lived in Prince Albert most of her life. She said hosting the podcast is helping her learn the Michif language and connect with her own heritage.

It is on the endangered languages list. So I’ve been promoting it and talking with people about the language, picking up some of the vocab and working on it myself,” Dorion said.
