We had a wonderful time performing at the Bytown Museum in Ottawa as part of the National Trust for Canada's celebration marking 50 years of the World Heritage Convention in Canada.

At the end of June, we had the incredible honour of performing at the 34th Annual Eiteljorg Indian Market and Festival in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was our first time performing at the Eiteljorg Museum, and we were grateful to be invited to be part of one of the largest and most respected celebrations of Indigenous art and culture in North America.

On April 25, we had the honour of performing at the Ottawa Aboriginal Coalition’s Children and Youth Pow Wow in Ottawa.

We were honoured to be invited to speak, dance, and teach at the Anti-Human Trafficking Conference hosted by Minwaashin Lodge. We went into the day knowing we were stepping into a space centred on safety, resilience, and healing. Before we danced, we spoke about why jigging is healing for us as Métis youth.

We were delighted to perform four Métis jigging dances at the 2026 ISET National Gathering where Indigenous organizations come together to learn, share, and build relationships.

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.
