GDI is a Saskatchewan-based educational, employment and cultural institute serving Métis across the province
GDI is committed to the publication and development of Métis-specific cultural, literary, and educational resources for Métis children, youth, adults, and the non-Indigenous community. Through this focus, the Institute is also able to produce Michif-language resources for the K-12 system and the Métis community.
Since 1980, GDI’s Culture and Heritage Department has produced more than 300 literary, cultural, and educational resources in print, audio, visual, and multimedia formats.
In 2015, GDI created a new entity, Gabriel Dumont Institute Press (GDI Press), which focuses solely on book production.
GDI Press is the only Canadian publisher that exclusively publishes Métis authors and illustrators and/or themes in a wide range of genres—illustrated children’s books, graphic novels, prose and poetry books, juvenile and adult non-fiction trade, and academic books. Our eclectic Métis-centered books promote literacy and Métis history and culture for young readers. They also ensure the intergenerational transmission of Métis history, culture, and worldview.
The Press has had a great deal of success in publishing books and has received a great deal of critical acclaim and has won numerous awards.
