Description
Fisher River First Nation and Peguis Treaty Days.
Join the Manitoba Historical Society as we take a day trip tour through Manitoba's Interlake region to visit the Fisher River Cree First Nation, then South to Peguis First Nation, returning to Winnipeg via Teulon.
Departing from Grant Park Shopping Centre at 8.00 AM on Wednesday 17th July, this trip will travel through Manitoba’s Interlake region to first visit Fisher River Cree First Nation. Their will be a refreshment break at Tuelon. At Fisher River we will have an opportunity to learn about the history of its people and view its solar power project, which is the largest in Manitoba. We will then drive south to Peguis First Nation to visit the pow-wow that is a part of their three-day Treaty Days celebration. Dancers from across Canada will be competing in a truly amazing and colourful display of artistry and ability. Numerous vendors will be on site displaying a variety of crafts, and souvenirs. Lunch will be on your own but there will be numerous food trucks and vendors selling a variety of items and drinks (including traditional foods) or, if you wish, feel free to pack a light lunch to bring with you. Those who wish may choose to visit the Reserve’s casino. After spending time in Peguis, the tour will return to Winnipeg, stopping at St. Cyprian’s Church in Tuelon for a delicious “fall supper.” The tour will return to Grant Park no later than 8.00 pm.
Bring your camera, hat and, if you wish, a folding chair.
