This was our first invitation to the She Is Wise Nibwaakaa Inaadiziwin conference. “Nibwaakaa Inaadiziwin” translates to “she is wise in ways of life.”
This conference captures the voices and perspectives of Indigenous women and seeks to change the narrative of violence through collective cultural and gendered empowerment. It acknowledges the wisdom and intelligence of women, as well as our life-giving power.
Despite being the youngest of the teachers and performers, we were treated with nothing but kindness and respect. The experience was all that we hoped it would be.
The Lyons Sisters are renowned Métis Jiggers, sharing their passion for dance across North America as performers and teachers.
Being Swampy Cree Métis from the Métis Homeland of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, they learned traditional jigging at an early age. Their unique style blends First Nations and European dance influences, including Irish, French, and Scottish traditions.
Their performances celebrate the resilience and beauty of Métis culture, keeping traditions alive for future generations.
We were honoured to with their performance and teachings at the She Is Wise 2025 Conference.
The honour was ours and we hope to see you again. Click on the picture below for another video clip.
