Physical activity impacts overall health and wellbeing, and when it comes to Indigenous health, not much is known about older Métis adults and their experience with physical activity and healthy aging.
Assistant Professor and Health Research Chair at Yukon University, Dr. Liris Smith, completed her PhD work, which considered the experiences of Indigenous populations and physical activity to understand gaps and support overall population health. Her study was co-created with 12 Métis adults in Sakitawak (Île-à-la-Crosse) Saskatchewan using a participatory action approach.
