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. Artist contributors are Red River Métis living in all regions of Canada and parts of the U.S. Approximately 300 pieces have been sewn together to create the final work which will be presented to the public on February 15, 2025.

Tracy Charette Fehr is grateful for support from the Manitoba Arts Council, St. Boniface Museum, and WAG-Qaumajuq for supporting this project and making this vision a reality.

Prayers will be made in Southern Michif, English & French, along with French translation for the event.

Tea and Bannock will be served.
