HISTORY
The
Alberta Métis Historical Society was formed out of a need to enhance
training opportunities for Métis people, to educate and share the
history of our participation in Canada's story. The Society was incorporated
in 1986 and renamed in 1999. The Métis Association of Alberta was
founded in 1932 to represent the interest and concerns of the Metis
people of 0Alberta.
MISSION
STATEMENT
The
Alberta Métis Historical Society Tourism Development Project, "The
Métis Millennium Voyage" is committed to assisting Métis people
to work toward the betterment of life through basic education, advanced
education and career development that will lead to self sufficiency
and pride in their contribution to Canadian heritage and the preservation
of Métis heritage and culture. The Métis Millennium Voyage consists
of three programs: the research and development of Métis heritage
sites, the research and development of Métis heritage products,
and the research and development of a Métis Heritage Education Program.
Each project will tie into the other through common goals and objectives.
This project will be an ongoing effort of the Métis Nation of Alberta
to fulfill our mission statement and its commitment to our Métis
heritage.
