  4. Today is the 140th anniversary of #louisriel 's execution.
    Riel, now known as the #fatherofmanitoba and a fearless leader of the #metis people, grew up in a well respected home. Like many before him and after, he stepped out of comfort in the name of justice for his people.
    He endured being called a lunatic, a traitor, and a criminal , as he was aware that his actions would echo through the centuries. He knew his life would be short.
    As a Metis, I honour him.

  7. J’avais un certain intérêt depuis longtemps pour les ceintures fléchées. J’en ai finalement trouvée une au musée de St Boniface!

    Une entreprise métis-Manitobaine qui s’appelle Étchiboy les fabrique avec des artisans autochtones au Pérou.

  8. Got this at the #Métis pavilion at #folklorama. A very precocious, cute kid sold me on it; he was helping his mom in her sales booth. I think he was part of their sales strategy. lol.

    Honest advertising!
