Artisans' Village
We are delighted to bring the Artisans’ Village to the 125th Anniversary Celebrations. The Village will have three tents. The first tent will be dedicated to vendors selling their Métis crafts/arts and Métis artisans showcasing their talent; the second tent will be used for theatre creation and film presentation and the third tent will showcase our many Sponsors, Corporations and Affiliates as well as the the Genealogy Centre.
The Artisans’ Village will be a place where the past meets the present, where traditional crafts will meet modern art, where goods, crafts and art will be sold and where Métis and non-Métis alike will experience the Métis culture through art, theatre, film, music and so much more.

Genealogy & Registry
Our genealogy area will be a place to collect old letters, books, pictures and we invite you to bring copies of your original documents, pictures and donate them to the Métis Nation – Saskatchewan Genealogy Centre. In our efforts to gather historical and genealogical information to help support the Registry of Métis people, we encourage everyone who is in possession of historical data to share it with us. We are also collecting historical books to include in the library of the Genealogy Centre.
