Public and private performances.
We were honoured to attend the Métis National Council’s 2025 Annual General Assembly in Ottawa as both vendors and performers. Being invited into this space, alongside Métis leadership, citizens, and community members from across the homeland, meant a great deal to us.
We were pleased to be invited to the Indigenous Women’s Arts Conference 2025 as both performers and vendors. Hosted by the Indigenous Arts Collective, this annual gathering brings together Indigenous women from urban, rural, and on- and off-reserve communities to share art, culture, and knowledge. Since 2019, the conference has welcomed over 1,000 visitors and supported dozens of Indigenous artists and facilitators. Being part of this space felt meaningful and grounding.
We were honoured to attend the 2025 National Indigenous Sports Gala hosted by the Aboriginal Sport Circle. The gala brought together athletes, leaders, Elders, and community members from across Turtle Island to celebrate 30 years of Indigenous excellence in sport. Being part of that energy felt powerful and welcoming.
We had such a special evening dancing at the inaugural gala for National Indigenous Collaborative Housing Inc. (NICHI)
We were excited to bring Métis jigging and live fiddling to the Early Learning and Child Care Canada–Métis Partnership Table Gathering. Stakeholders from across the country came together at the historic Fairmont Château Laurier to discuss Métis early learning and child care.
We use Métis jigging and storytelling to keep our traditions alive—and to invite others to learn with us. It’s always about connection, history, and pride.
Our third appearance at the Indiana State Fair!
Our professional debut was at Celtfest 2022, so we were delighted to make our third appearance for the 29th edition of Almonte's famous festival.
"Really brought new life to this piece :) Thanks so much for doing this and I’m so glad you like the tune!"–Alex Kusturok
In a vibrant fusion of original Métis talent, we are excited to unveil a brand new dance choreographed to the captivating song "Li Keur" by Alex Kusturok, a renowned Métis fiddler and educator.
To mark National Indigenous Peoples Day, The Maniwaki Native Friendship Centre – Gatineau partnered with the First Peoples Innovation Centre to hold a celebration at Place Laval, in Hull, QC.
This day holds deep significance as a time to recognize and honour the cultures, traditions, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Turtle Island. We were grateful to be alongside Elders, traditional drummers, singers, artists, and our friend Akina Ohlman to carry the spirit of the day
We'd like to thank Maniwaki NFC, FPIC, the City of Gatineau and Heritage Canada, and everyone who joined us to learn and celebrate our Peoples.
