BC Métis ART & Products
The Métis Trading Post's mission is to celebrate and share the rich talents of Métis people through high-quality art and products. We offer a curated selection of paintings, prints, books, apparel, jewelry, sashes and other unique items and gifts. Whether rooted in traditional techniques or reimagined through a modern lens, every creation celebrates Métis artistry and innovation. As an affiliation of Métis Nation British Columbia, the Métis Trading Post supports MNBC’s mission to promote and preserve Métis culture, while empowering artists and entrepreneurs through visibility, community connection, and economic opportunity. While there are Métis artists and small businesses from elsewhere in Canada that have contributed to this vibrant community, the Métis Trading Post prioritizes showcasing work by Métis Artists and businesses located within British Columbia.
ABOUT THE LOGO
As designed by MNBC citizen and graphic designer, Darcy Senger, this logo draws inspiration from the rich tradition of Métis beadwork, an art form that expresses identity, history, and connection to the land. At it's heart is the Métis Rose, surrounded by leaves and berries, symbolizing our relationship with nature and the enduring creativity of Métis Artists.
The word “Mayshkootoona”, meaning trade or trader in Michif, reflects the sharing of our culture and the importance of making Métis traditions accessible to our citizens. Framed by two infinity symbols, the logo represents unity, resilience, and the unbroken
spirit of the Métis Nation.
