Join us for a fun, interactive, and engaging experience hosted by Red River Métis Youth Interpreters in either French or English.
In a scenic spot tucked into a St. Vital neighbourhood, your team will discover Louis Riel, honourary First Premier of Manitoba, and the home of his family, river lot systems, and Red River frame construction. Workshops include weaving a petite ceinture fléchée, butter making, jigging and spoons instruction, and a tour of the House. Workshops will be suitable for the age of your group.
Learn more and engage in conversations about the unique culture of the Red River Métis, and how the Riel family was pivotal in the history and foundation of our Province of Manitoba.
