Abstract: Métis are a distinct Indigenous people with unique communities, history and customs. In Métis culture, lifelong learning is a key element in the health and well-being of individuals and their communities. For Métis, knowledge may stem from a variety of sources, including parents, knowledge holders, Elders, the community and formal education systems, such as early childhood education programs, and secondary and postsecondary education. This paper explores the gaps in educational outcomes between Métis and non-Indigenous youth in Canada using data from the 2021 Census of Population long-form questionnaire, which reports Indigenous identity, educational attainment, and other sociodemographic characteristics that are determinants of educational outcomes. Findings demonstrate that these gaps were unequal among the four groups identified in the analysis. This study is guided by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada's 55th Call to Action, which recognizes the importance of equitable education for the success of Indigenous peoples and calls for regular reporting on the educational attainment of Indigenous peoples in Canada compared with non-Indigenous people.
