For over a century, the shadows of colonialism have lingered over the Métis people, but so has the light of resilience. One place that carries these wounds is St. Paul des Métis, a settlement established in 1896 that came with the promise of hope, opportunity and cultural preservation, only to become another symbol of broken promises and neglect.
