white woman isnt metis

I hate when people say “You don’t look Métis” like not everyone who is Métis looks the same

Just in case there is confusion. When she says shed is the length, this is not so. The SHED is the SPACE where she puts the weft threads across the long threads, (long called Warp). Passing the Weft thread to the left through the SHED. This is a lovely instruction for finger weaving which I have never tried as other videos left me confused. I must try this now. Thank you very much.

Thx for the video!

Fingerweaving? I've not heard this word before. I get that you're saying there's no loom. I think everyone else would just say "handwoven.". Unless I'm missing something about the technique. Fiver arts techniques are as intricate as they are diverse. I wonder where the cultural use of "fingerweaving" comes from. I am not quite getting the cultural significance of the term. But as you describe it in the video, its the symbolosm of the worn woven textiles that seems most culturally important. I'll watch the process again.

An old sage once told me about a wierd story thati didnt understand,yet,do you guys heard about John traverse the rivers?

In the heart of Alberta, where the prairies wide, The Métis gather, with pride they stride, With the beat of the drum and the fiddle’s song, At Alberta Métis Fest, where we all belong. Alberta Métis Fest, where the spirit flies, With the dance and the song, under open skies, In the warmth of the fire, and the stories told, Alberta Métis Fest, where traditions unfold. With the jig of the dance and the joy in the air, We celebrate the culture, with love and care, From the elders’ wisdom to the children’s cheer, At Alberta Métis Fest, we hold all dear. In the colors of the sashes, and the sounds of the night, We find our connection, in the soft firelight, With each hand we hold, and each laugh we share, The Métis spirit, in the cool evening air. So here’s to the Métis, with their heritage bright, In the unity of the fest, we find our light, With the echo of history, and the promise of tomorrow, At Alberta Métis Fest, we share joy and sorrow.

All the best for Alberta Metis Fest 👍

Great Read!!

Why was it allowed to happen to Children ?

as an metis man this makes me cry for my indigenous bothers and sisters, la pae miina lamoor. 😪

That's rich because you don't even recognize your own people in the MNA. I have never qualified for any programs nor was I granted harvester rights. Might want to clean up your own backyard first before throwing stones.

Andrea Thank you

Their own Bible condems them. The devil comes not but for to kill, steal and destroy.

I’m so excited! I got a kit!

Looks ok to me! Great info

The video is very blurry hard to see thank you

I’m crying. I feel so seen, all Métis people need this beautiful reminder

To bad you don’t recognize any other Metis in Canada. I am Metis and hold alberta Metis status. But As retired military veteran who decided to retire in Alberta, I lose all my Metis rights and I am not recognized as Metis with rights , by the Alberta Metis council .

Keanu will greet you!

Was very educational. Did not know there was so many varieties of Bees. The one question about the picture of a fly that looked like a bee really caught me. It really looked like a Bee.

Chickasaw in Oklahoma. Thank you for sharing. All our stories need to be heard for healing.

RIP Joseph Rousseau (chippewa/cree and French) metis from North Dakota. Our ancestry goes back to red river settlement and Pembina. He is buried at haskell indian residential school in kansas. He was taken at 6 years old and passed away at school as a teenager. I cant imagine what he went through getting sick and dying so far from home in a foriegn land without his parents. Hopefully people read this comment and keep his memory alive.

Lies land grab

but if you live east of alberta manitoba you arent metis ................... yeah right like saying if you dont live o the reserve your not native

Love seeing the piece on the solar farm at Metis Crossing. It would be great to see a program to help MNA Citizens implement solar at home. Imagine the impact we could see as a nation if citizens could also directly contribute to climate change in this way.

Thanks again! Shared!

The song played at the start is called Louis Riel reel. It is played well in medley with Big Bear, Riley's Reel, & Johnny's gone to France

Thank you for posting this!

I’ve just started getting into learning about this part of my background. (I’m not exactly sure how far back it is but I know that I have a Métis family member somewhere. I’m seeing if I can track that down)

This is so awesome. Thanks to the Edmonton Oilers for the concern and contribution for Truth and reconciliation. 👍💯. Bless you all. Hiy hiy🪶🦅🙏

Being Metis isn't about how you look, it's about saying racist stuff about natives and then saying "I can say that though because I'm part native".

Post more jobs to work for the MNA in Calgary, Lethbridge, Red Deer and Medicine Hat. Not all Métis live in or within commuting distance to Head Office in Edmonton. This would open up more opportunities for METIS employees!
