Sign me up for the Metis Walking Tour Video!

 

Join us for the video screening of the tour of Rooster Town, where a Metis community lived for 6 decades until the city expropriated their homes in the early 1960s. Elder Frank Sais and his son present their story of expropriation. David Wright will review some of the Metis history of Manitoba including Rooster Town.  The video also includes the walking tour to the public art Rooster Town Copper Kettle installation at Beaumont Station facilitated by artist  Ian August. The event is from 6-8 pm September 26 at Helen and Bill Norrie Library.
