Heritage Project Grant 2025
Documenting and revitalizing Métis songs, lullabies, and Michif language through community recordings.
What is this project all about?
This collaborative project will work with Métis Elders and Knowledge Keepers in Batoche and Treaty 6 territory to record, transcribe, and preserve traditional Métis songs, particularly lullabies and other musical traditions.
The recordings will be carefully documented with cultural context and, with appropriate consent, made available in both digital and printed formats for educational use.
The project emphasizes community-led language revitalization efforts while creating accessible resources for educators, families, and community members interested in connecting with Michif language and traditional music practices.
