Awesome...am from the Metweyash Katchiwe lineage of Skownan...our ancestors came from the Metweyashing line in Dog Creek....at any rate...awesome jigging!!!
@@roberttucker4142 probably Ojibwe....or Saulteaux....from Sault Ste Marie...oral story says we came around the time of the small pox epidemic in the 1780's/1790s and came into Manitoba area....Metweyashing/Maytwayashing, I was told that it means the sound the leaves make when you walk over them, like a crunchy sound, like in the fall.....
i remember recording this song from the westbrook western hour when i was around 13, this has to be the same guy from that band that was playing cause since then no one has ever played this version, sends chills down my spine lol
Does the step-dancing come from the French, Scottish, Irish, or Native American traditions, or is it a mash-up? :) I'm having an argument with someone who thinks the Irish are responsible for everything Celtic, and that anything that looks vaguely Irish was stolen from them (my grandfather was Irish, so I'll give them a lot of credit, but I can't help feeling that the Scots should hire the Irish publicity Department! ;) ). I think Québecois step-dancing is great, but don't know of any European French equivalent, so was wondering if they'd got it from the Scots settlers and traders who were a strong presence in Canada.
You had it right the first time - it's a "mash-up". Btw, the English had and have step-dancing, too - but even less of a publicity department than the others (wait - oh - apparently they stole it from the Irish ... ! Okay, lighten up everybody; it's a joke).
Seen many in my years this IS. A WINNER, GREAT TO BE YOUNG
Bravo, bravo, bravo. Great playing, great dancing. Keep it up.
One of the best dancers around

what tribe does the Metweyash come from. the last name sounds like Ojibwe or Potawatomi. translating the wind that blows between the trees.

That guy is good
Now that boy can stamp out a grass fire anywhere!

Take a drink every time he touches his glasses lol,
The 24 or so who put the thumbs down. What's up with you guys? A little strange but that's what smoking do.
Black socks!!
That guy doesn't smoke cigarettes. Bet my last $20 that he just ran 10 miles.

Bob Leslie its from the scottish and irish part.
Step-dancing during a drunken fight is Irish for sure.

Did he have a heart attack? Whew!
He missed a step at 3:42.
idk
wrg
Same old steps
3:12 dancing to the Flintstones is degrading for such a great Native dancer
@@gimpman1357 i guess toppling a few John A MacDonald statues would help too,lol
Cloggin is cool and all but you can't clog to this song. . .The beat is all off and the rhythm is way different.
It's Métis Jigging and this is how they dance to these songs all the time. Check out the Red River Jig.
