Traditional Metis Fiddling Lessons

Funded Amount: $30000
The youth representative on the Kenora Metis Council will organize lessons for Metis youth in Kenora to help them learn to fiddle in the traditional Metis way; a key part of the Metis’ rich history and culture. Through fiddling, Metis youth will engage with other Metis citizens and immerse themselves in a key aspect of the Metis way of life. The young people leading this project hope the lessons will develop and strengthen Indigenous youth’s connection to their history, culture and community.
