‘La Danse di la Rivyairre Rooj, Oayache Mannin’ is a series of online visits and virtual/live-knowledge sharing activities with scholars, artist-practitioners, and community members of the Red River Jig (RRJ) family networks. Hosted by Drs. Suzanne Steele (ULeth), Michelle Porter (Memorial), and Monique Giroux (ULeth), we seek to trace a ‘cultural DNA’ of a peoples for whom the RRJ represents not only a dance, an entertainment, a historical connection, but also signifies a national project, and, importantly, a spiritual balm. This project is a multi-year, cultural inquiry into dance, music, and song as practiced by the Red River Métis Family Networks. It focuses on the centrality of the RRJ to the Michif peoples but also invites conversations on its meaning to Indigenous peoples and friends throughout Turtle Island, the homeland, above and below the Medicine Line.
