Choreographed by Yvonne Chartrand and performed by V’ni Dansi’s Louis Riel Métis Dancers, these dances illuminate the intricate evolution of design combined with the dynamic and elaborate jig stepping of today. The long ago sounds of buffalo-hunting on horseback evoke images of wide-open prairie landscapes. This dance takes you on a compelling journey to the land of open skies and the love, joy and beauty of the free people.
