MN–S EASTERN REGION 3 ENGAGES COMMUNITY IN STORY MAPPING HISTORICAL MÉTIS LAND USE

December 10, 2021 — Saskatchewan – Métis Elders and community members from Métis Nation–Saskatchewan (MN–S) Eastern Region 3 (ER3) have created a historical tour of their regional area through interactive story mapping. A combination of maps, text, images, video, audio and other multimedia create this original online narrative and new stand-alone resource sharing the traditions and history of the region. This is evidence of historical Métis land use in the area and will assist with land claims and harvesting rights.

A media release about the launch is here.

The ER3 mapping project is the initial implementation of a February 2020 commitment by MN–S to mapping our Métis imprint in Saskatchewan.  Métis Nation–Saskatchewan intends to expand this initiative and gather evidence of historical Métis land use province-wide.
