The members of Shaqhawey play some Métis fiddle music while the Riel Reelers to do some Métis jigging for the crowd. Eighteen month-old Malachai Kakakawey gives Wayne a hand tuning the bass guitar...those are mighty big strings for one guy to tune all by himself. |
|
|
Here the members of Shaqhawey are playing and singing up a storm. That's Todd on the guitar, Wayne on the bass, and Brian playing the fiddle and doing most of the announcing.

Before the Reelers finish their set, it's
time to go into the audience and bring about a little crowd participation.
Here, two girls are learning to dance to the Red River Jig with Shawna
LaRocque |

Now it's time for the male Treaty 4 Dancers to close the show. |

The men of Treaty 4 regale the crowd with show stopping performances... |

| Terrence Littletent comes from
Kawacatoose First Nation and is a world champion Hoop Dancer. Originally the Hoop Dance was performed by medicine men and spiritual leaders as medicinal and/or visionary dances. Visions were seen through the hoops to cure ailments or see the future. The Hoop Dance allows the dancer to weave the story of how all living things on the earth are connected and how they grow and change. Terrence uses a total of 17 hoops to imitate a number of creatures found on Mother Earth. Every dancer lends his or her own interpretation, but each follows the theme of harmony with nature. In Terrence's dance you may be able to recognize some of the animals being imitated...a bear, a baby Eagle, a young man on horseback, and the majestic adult eagle spreading its wings. |
