M\u00c9TIS DAY AWARENESS
\nThe traditional culture of our M\u00e9tis ancestors, shaped by nature, still exert strong influence on generations today, from spirituality to political attitudes. There is an undeniable relationship between M\u00e9tis culture and the way history, traditional knowledge systems, healing practices, values and norms and political and legal customs are interpreted. This relationship governs the way people live and how they interpret the world around them. If culture shapes identity, then it can be concluded that the health of an individual is directly related to the overall health and wellness of their culture. Language, culture, and heritage are all interconnected. They are all part of daily life (i.e. family and community, food, art, songs, dance, spirituality, values, land use activities) and they all interact with one another to make up a unique M\u00e9tis culture.<\/p>\n
M\u00e9tis Day
\nAwareness
\nLouis Riel Day commemorates the anniversary of the execution of M\u00e9tis Leader Riel on November 16, 1885 in Regina, Saskatchewan.
\nThe day marks one of the most significant days in the history of M\u00e9tis people. Riel made the ultimate sacrifice for his people defending M\u00e9tis Rights, and so on this day M\u00e9tis honour and celebrate Louis Riel in recognition of a great Leader of M\u00e9tis People, Father of Manitoba, and a M\u00e9tis Hero.<\/p>\n
