We had the privilege of performing and teaching at the Canadian Medical Association National Indigenous Peoples Day "Métis Voices" event today, where we met Jimmy Durocher, a highly esteemed Métis and Cree Elder. Although our interaction was brief, it was deeply significant for us as Métis Jiggers.
The annual National Métis Health Policy Forum centres on current health priorities, innovations, and advancements, while also exploring opportunities for new and renewed investments to address these priorities.
Indiana’s name means “Land of the Indians”, or simply “Indian Land” and we hoped to return to be able to perform our Métis dance for Hoosier audiences.
Well, it happened with our second invitation to the Indiana State Fair!
We were deeply honoured to perform for Christi Belcourt for the official unveiling of her Canada Post stamp!
This Indigenous Peoples Day, we travelled to Huntsville, Ontario to perform and teach Indigenous dance.
