My neighbor is part Metis. Love the music. Thank you.
I am part Metis lol
@@ryerboi4196 be proud of that
If you have metis ancestry you are metis. Because we are a mixed people held together by culture. You cant reslly be part metis
@@justacentrist4147 you also need to identify as Métis, and can't identify as another Indigenous group.
For example, a girl I know has Métis ancestry, but she isn't Métis herself as she is a registered member of a Cree Band.
But in general you are right. If you have Métis ancestry, identify as Métis, and are accepted by the Métis Nation, you are Métis.
@@zepher664 That's not entirely true. You can have both Metis and other Indigenous ancestry, and Identify as both. My family for instance has ancestral ties to the Michel Band (Cree/Iroqouis/Metis), and Papaschase band (Cree/Metis) on my grandfathers side, and Ojibwe from Poplar River First Nation on my grandmothers side. But as far as I know, you can't both be registered to the Metis Nation, and be a Status Indian at the same time, but that doesn't mean you are one or the other. I identify as Metis, Cree, and Ojibwe.
In the United States, there are many mixed blood Indigenous-Euro people. We are called hillbillies
So nice to see this from the mixed blood folks a bit farther north
The Metis always amaze me, I kinda see them as cousins bc im part Blackfoot.
I finally found my people. I'm matis any fellow matis here
I am but I’m a bad example. I couldn’t care less about our traditions and culture and I’m not very proud of being it ether I think wandering around the prairie pulling a red river cart with your stuff on foot would have been a miserable life and we are just a lower class people in Canada we have been from the beginning every other demographic has surpassed us in every way on our own land. Our government doesn’t even give a shit about us to them we are nothing more than a burden
Amazing
I am thrilled to see Parks Canada giving this time and space.
Does anyone know the reel starting at 1:48 to 2 minutes? I remember it from my childhood, I’ve heard it played in the maritimes in Acadian traditions but ’ve never been able to find it since.

bless the red river elders
Beautiful :D
I could listen to this music all day, and sometimes do😊👍
😊
The big lie........and I don't mean that malice was the intended motivation.....when in this video by Parks Canada....Jean Arcand says that this was the music of the Red River country..........he was speaking from his recollections and they are for sure accurate........what is not accurate is for the Metis Federation and Parks Canada and other political organizations to assert that this music is an exemplar of Metis culture unique to the Metis west of the Ontario border.....that is the big lie.......and is anything but true ........that video was a description of the musical culture that is inherent and typical to all of the communities of Indigenous, half breed, non status, metis-Algonquin-Cree-Montagnard peoples who grew up in the river communities of the great rivers of the St Laurent, the Ottawa, the Gatineau, the Coulonge, the Petawawa and Mattawa rivers.........the highways of the voyageurs to the west and eastern extremities of this great country............that along with our western relatives of Manitoba Sask and Alberta is the real Metis community......the Political Metis bureaucrats have to learn about inclusion and what that means....your Metis world is bigger than the one you are talking about..........to limit metis culture to the Red River is a diminishing travesty of our precious universal pan Canadian musical Metis culture.............metis are everywhere in Canada.....everywhere the voyageurs hunted for furs...because not all of those voyageurs wanted to go back to Montreal.....they liked the Indigenous communities they experienced and decided to stay there.......Meegwetch, voila and Ainsi-soit-il
Nope your wrong, it’s distinct musically from other parts of Canada, it was developed in Red River and just because your of mixed blood heritage in Canada, it does not make you a “Métis” they are far more distinct.
Nope you are wrong and I would say racist in what is just your opinion....most musicologists agree the fiddle music of the metis in the east and west if of the country is very similar because the tunes are derived from the same French scottish anD Irish sources....nous les metis de l’est du pays sont en Grand nombre Francais et indigenes que ca soit ici au quebec ou dans les provinces maritimes.....moi je suis metis français et Algonquin.....et fiere de l'être.
That is very much true. Each region may have their own preferred tunes, or tunes named after the area that they live in, but if you listen to Gwich'in fiddlers VS James Bay Cree VS Mikmaq, you would have to have a very strong ear for fiddle music to hear the subtle differences and you hear a lot of the same tunes played in every community. Though the Mikmaq fiddlers of Cape Breton have more of an Celtic influence.
So everyone else is wrong, but you’re right? I’m sorry you don’t fit in over there, but you’re not one of us and never will be.
