To initiate this discourse, I first address key issues highlighted in the "International Council for Adult Education [ICAE] Spotlight Report for CONFINTEAVII" (Ireland & ICAE Executive Committee, 2022) which identifies critical areas for achieving the objectives outlined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Following this, I examine the adult education literature, with a particular focus on experiential, w/holistic (as defined in this paper), and lifelong learning. I next present an overview of significant events in Métis history in Canada, starting with an introduction to their origins, transitioning to the conflicts they faced with colonial powers, and concluding with their contemporary situation. Finally, I explore the interconnections between the experiences of the Métis and the issues outlined in ICAE report, raising questions about the development of strategies and tools that could facilitate progress toward the goals of 2030.
