We had so much fun celebrating culture with the next generation of jiggers! By mentoring Métis youth, we are not only showing steps or traditions, but also motivating our youth to feel a deeper connection to our culture and to the traditions of our ancestors.
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!
Youth4Youth Canada facilitated a workshop on Métis music, history, and culture at the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health. The event was held in the Grand Gathering Space and targeted youth aged 7 to 12 from the Wabano Summer Camp.
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.
