We will explore the historic and contemporary Métis through music and a presentation by the Red Hot Stove Pipe Band. The two founding members of this band, Basil Lafreniere and Marg Raynor, are descendants of Metis, Louis George Labatte & Julie Francoise Grouette, who migrated from Drummond Island to this area in 1828 and settled on the shores of Thunder Bay Beach. Family artifacts will be highlighted.
