Towards a National Heritage Centre for the Red River Métis

The Manitoba Métis Federation - the National Government of the Red River Métis - is developing a Heritage Centre in the heart of our Homeland on Winnipeg's iconic corner of Portage and Main. Symbolically facing toward the Northwest, the Heritage Cenre is at the most significat intersection of our Red River Cart Trails from across the Prairies. This one-of-a-kind Heritage Centre will tell our Red River Métis stories and showcase our history with engaging exhibits and programs that mix historical artifacts and contemporary art in unique ways. The Heritge Centre will dignify the history and interpret the significance of the Red River Métis in the development and future of Canada and be a welcoming place that is accessible and inclusive as a place for gathering and celebrating our Red River Métis collective identity and culture.
