I very love this

I love the heal toe polka, it’s so fun to dance to. I love polka and waltz music. I love this group !

Many years ago while living in Regina, I was a young gal at the time and always loved the Victoria Park Festival. I remember sitting on the grass front row and one by one the fiddlers came out to join Mr Arcand on stage. Wow when they all played it sounded like one fiddle playing, that’s how great they were! Mr Arcand came to me later and said that out all the people there I was the only one moving and clapping to the music. He really love that, I couldn’t help it as I sure enjoyed the music, he’s a really nice man and talented beyond belief!❤

Thank-you for this amazing film featuring amazing artists and storytellers. Merci. Marrsî 🙏🏼💙 I am a Métis mumma of two grown girls. Since 2007, when I enrolled in college and then university, for the first time, I have been discovering more of who I am, and where my Métis family and I came from, our culture and traditions. I am still in school, now in my last year of my PhD. I have decided to include more of my Métis beingness in my work than I had anticipated, and that decision is due to watching this film. Yesterday I enrolled in a project by artist Tracy Charette Fehr, called "Honouring Our Métis Mothers." We are to bead and/or embroider one of our female Métis family member's name, alongside whatever other artwork we choose to include, on a 10" x 14" piece of wool blanket. These will be gathered up by Tracy and joined together to make a huge blanket, in St Boniface, Manitoba. My Métis community and I are on Vancouver Island. I am so grateful to participate in such a project with women that I am just getting to know. I feel honoured to be doing this work. I will begin with a piece for my great-grandmother Marguerite Tastawitch. She was born April 9, 1877, in Dunvegan, Alberta. She married Charlie Bremner Feb 01, 1898, in Spirit River, Alberta. This film has taught, and shown, me the depth and significance of the work that I am embarking upon. I have been scouring the internet for techniques and patterns as I am largely going at this alone - my Métis community will be meeting once a month. This film has brought home to me that I am not alone, wherever I may be. I feel Marguerite and her daughter, my gramma, Elizabeth 'Bess' Marguerite Bremner Ordell, whispering to me, encouraging me forward. I am feeling a joy, excitement, peacefulness and passion rising up in me that I have not experienced for some time. It feels like many hurts and troubles are healing. ❤🌸

Love it.

Gilbert Pelletier was my great grandfather, i never go to meet him, but all the things that my family has said about him he was a pretty awesome man. I wish i got to meet him, I might never get the chance but he with me always, I will learn about him from my family. RIP Great grandpa. I love you alway.😔😓😞

Beautiful rugs. However. Background music almost drowns out narrative. Music is high pitched and almost irritating for a lengthy video.

What a great and informative video to educate people like myself, who are Métis, finding their place in their communities, interested in learning more about their culture, being an active member and joining all the available groups or ceremonies, are proud of their identity and want to teach traditions to the younger generations. One day I will be an Elder too. Thank you for this video. I love the Red River jigging.

Thank you for sharing your history and art. Love your home made frames... material binding. What do you use to dye your fabrics?

Thanks for sharing..................Metis History Writer and Red River Cart Builder

I wonder if there is any way to contact Scott Dufree! ? His dedication is strong.

❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing the life of my wonderful Grandfather Jim ❤️

Thanks for this. It was beautiful. Both the people and the art. We do this on the east coast of Canada as well I’ve just gotten involved. I haven’t joined a group yet but here they call them ‘hook ins’.

I am Metis ....and have hundred of followers....??? But not 2 U Tube ???

Nice music we’re from

Hello, Gabriel Dumont Institue, i was very fortunate owning a piece of coat by Elder Isabelle, and her coat simply stunning and extremely well kept. thank you for the information so I can listen and watch the story behind her coat.

Wow! Where has this been all of my life?

Thank you for this! My family has an old, old photo of my mooshoom(mooshum) in his cowboy gear and sash.

What a shame 😢 Disrespect! Go do your dance in the parking lot! Mr.Arand deserves better then you dancing in front of him! Shame on you!

Good old michif boys

Thank you for sharing this Mr. Dumont

I am a newfoundlander now living in saskatchewan , I would love to speak with this family. I would love to dedicate a historical building I have in the honor of Mr Arcand and his music and culture.....we will see.

Awesome! 👋👋👋❤🎻🎶

So good to see this. I hope you're well, my old friend. I think of you often. Merci pour toute, John.....ton ami, La Grand Couette.

Good old time music

I am so very thankful to have seen this video! It's really great, thank you! Your arrowhead is beautiful ❤️!

How do you play all those fiddles enough?

Louis David Riel was my eight cousin once removed we share a common relative Grandmother Marie Margurite Marsolet born 1638 Quebec . Louis is related to this lady because her sister Louise Marsolet born 1640 Quebec . My mother's was Ida Quintin she was a mix of Acadian and Quebec French. My surname is from my father he was East Prussian . Anyhow found it very interesting recently to find a connection by blood while distant to this great man of principal . Everyone should do a family tree , you never know who you are related to in history . Terrible this man was executed for defending his people and their honor and way of life . Louis Riel will forever be a hero .

Meawesin...... Thanks for the video and the beautiful wonderful music.

I wonder why, UA-cam has this video in such a low resolution that I cant even see this lady's face.

How many strands are used of each colour and how are they distributed?

Unless you are actually Indigenous, you have no right to speak for them.

This is Identity Politics on steroids. In fact, "Justice", supposed to be recognized as an objective term, based on reality which is common to all, and not different to/for people depending on their race. This woman either doesn't understand it or is a fake.

I always wondered if Michif speakers get, well Cree-ish manes?

Who is Indian..off spring of Male Indians retained Status Who is Métis …off spring of Female Indians who got kicked off the reserve lost their Indian Status Now what ? Status Indians are 50% Métis and Métis are 50% Indians who. would qualify for Indian Status…. It’s only the Indian tribal councils ,who decide how many Indians they can get money for ?? Can a female status Indian bring their white husband on reserve?

Difficult to focus with background sounds of singing

My favorite tune is the Turtle Lake Swing!!!

Great!!!

Très belle 😊😊

Its really beautiful to see the woman's stories and perspectives, so often we hear about the rebellions but its really cool to get a glimpse into the life. Also it took my breath away to hear my name in this Maria (pronounced like mariah). I am so proud of my grandmothers, such beautiful makers and community builders!

My x3 great grandmother's name was Marie (Mary) Agnes Desjarlais, married to a Jean (John) Baptiste Morin (Moran).

😂

Yeah right

Thanks for explaining I’ve always wanted to make my own
