The Métis and paskwa moshtosh

Thursday February 27, 2025 2:20pm - 3:20pm MST

Paskwa moshtosh, lii bufloo, buffalo, bison... No matter the name, for many Métis families paskwa moshtosh was key in shaping their lives and livelihoods. While the herds no longer roam across the land here, the teachings from these amazing animals still guide Métis society.
