Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day, and there is no shortage of things happening to celebrate.
Frances Chartrand of the Manitoba Metis Federation gave us a look at what the days have in store, but more importantly, what the day is truly about.
"It means we can celebrate our culture, celebrate who we are and where we come from. The Metis are a young, young nation. and if you think about it we lost our language, we lost our culture and heritage, and we had to hide and not identify who we are. so today we're able to celebrate who we are and where we come from."
Here's what's happening in the Northwest region for National Indigenous Peoples Day. #RedRiverMétis #NorthwestRegion #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay

Celebrations will be happening all over the parkland both today and tomorrow. Dauphin, Roblin, Swan River, and Winnipegosis will all be filled with great music, great food, and great people as we celebrate together for National Indigenous Peoples Day.
