About This Collection

There are fifty+ channels on YouTube bringing the voices of wisdom keepers to the fore, most publishers are indigenous communities. We support the sharing and preservation of sacred wisdom teachings, the very foundation of sustainability principles and practices, and offer EarthSayers as a "connecting tool" working towards the idea of One Voice through this special collection and other vidoes on EarthSayers such the series, Native Perspectives on Sustainability and special collections on Indigenous Elders Dr. David Courchene, Ilarion Merculief, and Dr. Robin Kimmerer

We are grateful to the individuals and organizations who are using the world wide web to present and spread the indigenous voices of wisdom.

In 2004, the Gabriel Dumont Institute gathered Métis Elders from across Saskatchewan. Maria Campbell interviewed Jeanne Pelletier and Clementine Longworth to document their stories and learn about their past.

Their narratives offer a rich tapestry of Métis life, covering experiences with education, transportation, the Michif language, Road Allowance living, employment, hunting, fishing, food, and celebrations. They also shared insights on cultural practices like dancing, fiddling, jigging, square dancing, clothing, medicine, midwifery, and significant historical events such as the 1885 Resistance and Louis Riel.

Explore more resources on Métis history and culture at the Métis Museum.
