We had the privilege of performing and teaching at the Canadian Medical Association National Indigenous Peoples Day "Métis Voices" event today, where we met Jimmy Durocher, a highly esteemed Métis and Cree Elder. Although our interaction was brief, it was deeply significant for us as Métis Jiggers.
This was our first invitation to the She Is Wise Nibwaakaa Inaadiziwin conference. “Nibwaakaa Inaadiziwin” translates to “she is wise in ways of life.”
The annual National Métis Health Policy Forum centres on current health priorities, innovations, and advancements, while also exploring opportunities for new and renewed investments to address these priorities.
On Saturday, we were invited to Rideau Hall to perform at the Governor General’s Winter Celebration.
It was an honour to meet and share space with so many genuine women who attended the Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) 50th Anniversary gala.
