Colonial policies and identity debates have resulted in major gaps in access to culturally safe health and social services for Métis Peoples living in Canada. To address the Métis health service gap, this qualitative study explores urban Métis women’s identity and their experiences with health and social services in Toronto, Canada. Métis women (n = 11) understand Métis identity as having connection to community, intergenerational identity survival strategies, a learning journey, and connection to land. Building Métis community determined understandings of Métis identity into urban health and social services may be one step toward addressing existing culturally safe health service gaps.

殖民政策和身份辩论导致居住在加拿大的梅蒂斯人在获取文化安全的健康和社会服务方面存在重大差距。为了解决梅蒂斯人在医疗服务方面的差距，这项定性研究探讨了加拿大多伦多城市梅蒂斯妇女的身份及其在健康和社会服务方面的经验。梅蒂斯妇女（n = 11）将梅蒂斯身份理解为与社区，代际身份生存策略，学习之旅以及与土地的联系。建立梅蒂斯社区确定的对梅蒂斯身份的理解，纳入城市卫生和社会服务，可能是解决现有的文化安全卫生服务差距的第一步。
