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.

"On National Indigenous Peoples Day, we honour the rich cultures, heritage and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples across Turtle Island.

This was our first invitation to the She Is Wise Nibwaakaa Inaadiziwin conference. “Nibwaakaa Inaadiziwin” translates to “she is wise in ways of life.”

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.

On Saturday, we were invited to Rideau Hall to perform at the Governor General’s Winter Celebration.

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!

Our thanks to the Indigenous Primary Health Care Council for their invitation to perform, teach Métis culture, and instruct their members in attendance in jigging at their "Wholistic Health and Integrated Care Gathering" in Toronto.

We are grateful for the Métis Nation of Ontario’s invitation to perform and teach at their 5th Annual Early Learning and Child Care Conference.
