Welcome to Metis Storytelling by Holly Tennant

World-building for Indigenous comics based in Northern Plains Cree territory in the early 20th Century which had been organized into the Carlton Agency, northwest of the Saskatchewan River Valley. The original artwork depicts life on the northern Plains thirty years after Treaty 6, in 1906, and features the grandchildren of Chief Mistawasis, who are in their thirties and shows the daily ins and outs of their tangles with the Indian Agencies.

A Metis jigging dance troupe, Chilliwack nimiiyitoohk means" dances together" in Michif. Holly co-leads the group with Shannon Olynyk and they meet at Chilliwack Metis House twice a month welcoming all Community members.  Together they learn the old fiddle songs and dances, a genre of metis storytelling that brings us together culturally and socially. The dancers are available for performances at cultural events and Indigenous celebrations. In 2024 they made four separate appearances throughout the Fraser Valley. Dance outfits are both contemporary and traditional and the logo features original artwork by the group members.

An accordian book of creamy, thick paper and black cloth cover featuring original artwork of calligraphy, inks and watercolours to tell the story of the Queen of the Roseau.
