Join us from February 12-13, 2025 as the Second Annual Métis Nation Global Summit returns at the Rogers Centre, located on the unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Anishinabe Algonquin Nation Nation, colonially known as Ottawa, Canada. Connecting Métis Nation policy priorities to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, this two-day event is a call to action, urging participants to envision a future in which the UN 2030 Agenda and Indigenous Rights exist harmoniously, driving progress that is both meaningful and inclusive.

Quotes:

"The real goal of Enhanced Participation is ensuring that Indigenous Peoples represent themselves as governments and as rights-holders so that there is input into all of [the] Development Goals, so that Indigenous Peoples get to choose which of those conversations they want to be a part of." - Stacey Lambert, Manager of International Relations – United Nations for Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada

"The SDGs are broad and they are very ambitious, but when we engage in really important conversations and discussions, we are ensuring that genuine Indigenous realities are reflected in policy decision-making processes." - Former MNC President, Cassidy Caron
