The Métis Nation
The Mètis Nation
The Metis Nation Columbia River Society is one of 39 chartered communities of Metis Nation British Columbia serving the Indigenous peoples of Golden and area. Our mission is to promote culture, provide education, and tend to the well-being of our people.
Our Work in Golden
We network with all service providers in our community to better enable us to provide outreach to those in isolation or in need. Our Elders are available to the schools to teach history, language, dance, and culture. We offer workshops in basket making, beading, capote making, food preservation, making balms and lotions, archery, foraging, and many other traditional ways of being and knowing.
Special celebrations are Louis Riel Day/ Metis Week, National Indigenous Peoples Day, and National Day of Truth and Reconciliation and we support our extended community by participating in their Pride Event, Trade fairs, parades, Snow King Festival, and other events.
We are very active in all aspects of teaching and living our culture and are proud to say that our community has come to respect, support, and partner with us on many projects. Our offices are currently located at 801 10th Ave S., Golden, B.C. and we can be reached at 250-290 0154.
The Mètis have played an integral role in developing Golden as a settlement and have a history in the Columbia Valley, learn about family stories here:
