On Louis Riel Day weekend, join us for the unveiling of Honouring Our Métis Mothers.

Honouring Our Métis Mothers is a collaborative art project which honours and recognizes the lives of Red River Metis/Michif women. The project was launched February 17, 2024, on Louis Riel Day at the St Boniface Museum by artist Tracy Charette Fehr. Since the launch, groups of Métis have met in-person and online to stitch, embroider, and bead the names of women—mothers, grandmothers, sisters, aunties and daughters—on pieces of wool.
