Hand Hills Michif Cultural Society to hold gathering

There will be lots of fun, family, and fiddles on hand for the Delia Michif Gathering going from July 24 until July 27 in the village of Delia.

The event celebrates Métis culture through traditional song, dance, arts and crafts, and plays recounting Métis legends of the past. All are welcome to come and enjoy the rich history and culture of the Métis people.

“This event allows our people to experience their own culture that a lot have been denied, along with everyone getting to experience a rich culture they have seen little of,” said Richard Lucier-Larson, communications director of the Hand Hills Michif Cultural Society

On Thursday, July 24, the camp is open for early arrivals and vendors. Then everything kicks off on Friday with Métis sports, seminars on historic Métis crafts, bannock making, and an evening jam session with Métis music and dance.
