Louis Riel Day in 2022

The 3rd Monday in Feb has been named in honour of Metis leader, Louis Riel, the founder of Manitoba. There are many ways you can celebrate the day. Reach out to the @MBMetis_MMF or visit the @ManitobaMuseum today. The museum has many artifacts which include Riel’s walking stick. https://t.co/Ak1vq8XUui

Spent the afternoon teaching the Two-Spirit Michif Local to introduce themselves in one of the languages of our ancestors. A great way to celebrate being Metis on Louis Riel Day. https://t.co/TizCQs3MPy

Today is Louis Riel day in Manitoba. We join with all those celebrating Riel's heroic resistance to the ethnic cleansing of Red River and the white supremacist project of John A. MacDonald and the Anglo capitalist class. https://t.co/9yJd6sS28t

Well, the kids were kind of crazy & a handful, but we celebrated Louis Riel Day properly with some bannock, fiddle music, learning history and colouring at Le Musée de Saint-Boniface. https://t.co/e77w7YDrjb

Happy Louis Riel Day to all our fellow Manitobans! Riel advocated for Métis land and language rights, pushed back against colonial forces, and is widely considered the Father of Manitoba.
