Indigenous Peoples Day at Bytown Museum
On June 21, the Bytown Museum in Ottawa became a vibrant hub of fun and learning as it hosted Indigenous Peoples Day celebrations, featuring Youth4Youth Canada’s Kisac program as special guests.
Taliah and Sarina Lyons were on hand to teach and perform Métis Jigging while Akina Ohlman did the same for Fancy Shawl dance. In total, Kisac program delivered four engaging performances, all drawing a packed audience eager to experience them.
Each year, these events serve as a vital platform for cultural education, allowing attendees to learn about the significance of Indigenous cultures, and the importance of their preservation. We are grateful for Bytown's invitation to appear, and for the warm reception of the attendees.
