Métis youth finger learning weaving at the Rendezvous at Georgian Bay as part of
the Summer Youth Cultural Program
This summer Métis youth have been given the opportunity to learn more about their Métis culture and history. A program, 2011 Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Summer Youth Cultural Program (SYCP), designed for the Métis youth was provided in Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie and Midland MNO offices.
The main objective of the program is to equip Métis youth with the knowledge to speak about Métis people, their culture and history. The training and orientation activities encourage the gathering, sharing, learning, and celebrating of Métis traditions, with specific emphasis on the Ontario Métis history and culture.
