Workshop Information

To further the appreciation and practice of traditional Métis dance, Compaigni V’ni Dansi offers special workshops to communities across Canada. Since 2000, Yvonne Chartrand has worked to strengthen Métis culture by bringing more than 100 workshops to communities in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario.

Through these workshops, she helps Aboriginal communities celebrate their Métis heritage and traditions. Workshops take a traditional perspective on Métis culture incorporating teachings Yvonne Chartrand has learned from many elders over the years.

Each workshop includes a talking circle where she shares her knowledge about the Métis way of life by bringing in traditional Métis artifacts and showing pictures of traditional clothing.
