The Red River Jig

$17.50

The “Red River Jig” is one of the most recognizable facets of Métis culture, as both a fiddle tune and a jig. Strains of this unofficial Métis anthem and the sound of people jigging to it can be heard throughout the Métis Homeland and beyond—wherever the Métis gather. In this engaging, thoughtful book, Scott Duffee, a knowledge keeper and a Métis jig instructor with years of experience, provides readers with keen insights into this enduring fiddle tune and its accompanying dance. Analyzing its historical evolution as well as its spiritual and wellness aspects, Scott Duffee informs readers that this communal dance, much beloved by thousands over many generations, also impowers its participants. The Red River Jig is a must read for anyone interested in this signature and defining aspect of the Métis Nation.
