"We Know Who We Are": Reflections on Métis Youth Identity, Health and Well-Being.

The purpose of this article is to gain insight into the ways in which M'etis youth describe, understand, and express their identity and how this relates to their overall health and well-being. There has been a lack of opportunity for M'etis to identify and control depictions of themselves. As part of a larger intergener-ational digital storytelling research project, this research under-took a community-engaged, arts and strengths-based approach using semi-structured interviews and digital stories with M'etis from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta to identify how they have come to understand what it means to be M'etis today in Canada. The findings of this study reaffirm an explicit connection between M'etis youth's identity and their overall health and well-being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
