Misi Yehewin (big breath): a cross-sectional survey series of Métis health and wellbeing during the early COVID-19 pandemic in Alberta, Canada
Findings highlight ongoing structural inequities influencing Métis health during COVID-19. Despite fewer reports of worsening overall health in later phases, symptom-based measures showed persistently high perceived stress and widespread food insecurity. Métis-led, culturally grounded strategies are needed to address both immediate and long-term determinants of health.
