This session will support educators in building confidence to meaningfully incorporate Métis-specific cultural items into early learning and child care settings. Participants will explore the cultural significance behind the materials included in the Story Bag and gain practical ideas for hands-on activities and provocations that reflect Métis traditions and ways of knowing.

The presentation will also include a discussion on the important differences between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation, offering guidance on how to respectfully and authentically engage with Métis culture in early years environments. Educators will leave with cultural connections, teaching strategies, and inspiration for thoughtful programming.
