Michif Medicines renamed La Mitchin di Mitchif

Through consultation with Mitchif knowledge keepers, we have decided to embrace a name for this production that honours one of the languages of our people and centres a Mitchif worldview.

Michif Medicines was thus renamed La Mitchin di Mitchif.

We look forward to sharing this work with you in June 2021.
