Government Invests in Michif Language Revitalization

The Government of Canada announced a $15.3 million investment over five years to support the revitalization of the Michif language among the Red River Métis. This funding, part of a new Indigenous language funding model, aims to provide greater control over funding decisions to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. The Manitoba Métis Federation will receive the funds to implement a language strategy tailored to their needs, bolstering efforts to reclaim and preserve their linguistic heritage. This initiative aligns with the Indigenous Languages Act, emphasizing community-led language revitalization.
