It was so much fun teaching the folks at OCSB about Métis culture!

We were invited to increase awareness about Métis culture at Library and Archives Canada by delivering cultural awareness workshops in both English and French.

We really enjoyed teaching and performing at this heritage village on Indigenous Peoples Day.

We had an incredible opportunity to share our culture with schools in the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board on Culture Day.

Family and kinship ties are at the heart of Métis culture.

We invited Indigenous youth to make a Mother’s Day Pancake Mix gift, plus learn Métis jigging!

We were pleased to receive this invitation from Indspire to perform and teach Métis culture at their national gathering of Indigenous high school students from across Canada!

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.

For many of our Junior Jiggers, this was their first pair of moccasins ever!

Thank you to the Ottawa Catholic School Board for inviting us for another event at OLV!
