The Red River Jig Family Network: Music-Dance-Story as Métis Re-Search Methodology

Abstract

In this article, we introduce the Red River Jig Family Network project and invite readers to join us in our conversations about Métis dance and music. We ask, what can a Métis-led and Métis-centred re-search project about Métis music and dance look like? And more specifically, what does the Red River Jig teach us about Métis approaches to re-search with and about Métis people and/or practices? In so doing, we are adding to a growing body of re-search that examines what it means to do re-search from a Métis perspective.
