Métis Nation's Youth Summit on Climate Change
Kisac (Swampy Cree for “with a view to the future”) is our cultural education program. To ensure that the future is better, we are investing now in acquainting and enriching youth with their birthright. Someday they will be carrying these traditions forward to the next generation.

Governor General Winter Celebration 2024
On Saturday, we were invited to Rideau Hall to perform at the Governor General’s Winter Celebration.
This event is an official part of Winterlude. Austria, Finland, Norway, and many other embassies were on site to run family-friendly activities for attendees. We performed three sets featuring our traditional dances, with special guest appearances by our Kîšâc Junior Jiggers and Elder Danka Brewer.
