Miyoskamin
Indigenous organization
“Miyoskamin” is one way of saying “spring” or “groundbreaking” in Cree. As an innovative and vital transitional housing project in Montreal launched by the Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal, the name Miyoskamin was chosen to reflect the newness of this kind of project.
Miyoskamin was built with more than just housing in mind. At the core of our mission is to provide wrap around support so that families can stay together.
The INDex was created to support First Nations, Inuit and Métis in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal in finding relevant and up-to-date information on services that were created specifically for them. Our goal is to promote cultural safety and community connectedness.
If you are an Indigenous person living, moving to or visiting Tiohtià:ke, the INDex can support you in your steps!
