Metis

With nearly 6000 members, the Labrador Metis Nation is the largest aboriginal group in Labrador. They primarily descend of Inuit women and British men, although they also consist of Innu, Micmac and Cree blood.

Labrador is the homeland of the Metis, both spiritually and culturally, as well as physically. Members of the Labrador Metis Nation live in small coastal communities on the coast and in the Happy Valley-Goose Bay area.

The Labrador Metis heritage is built on a unique mix of Aboriginal and European traditions. Their ancestors have always trapped, fished and hunted. It is the foremost wish and goal of the Labrador Metis Nation that their children will learn the culture and traditions of their forefathers.
