- The fiddle is an important part of Métis music and culture. They've been "fiddling" for hundreds of years and many Métis craftspeople make their own fiddles. The famous "Red River Jig" is dancing that accompanies the music. Fiddle and jigging contests are popular events.
- Métis buffalo hunting began on the North American plains in the late 1700s and continued until 1878 when the buffalo herds went into decline due to increased settlers and overhunting. The hunt was a vital part of Métis peoples livelihood.
