The return of heritage species at Métis Crossing was included in National Geographic! Come for a visit and see them for yourself!

"As the thunder of hooves cuts through the crisp Alberta air, Juanita Marois’s eyes well up with tears. Bringing bison back to the land of the Métis is the realization of a dream envisaged by her elders."

On Sunday, January 23, Métis Crossing is hosting a Métis Capote Making Workshop. Join us in a small workshop setting guided by guest Métis artist Orleans Lizotte, to create your own Capote using traditional stitching and decoration. In this workshop you will transform a wool blanket into a beautiful Métis coat!

The capote has become a symbol of the Métis people, representing our creativity and resourcefulness. The Capote is a wrap-around coat, traditionally made from blankets and tied together with a sash. This style of coat was predominantly used by Métis people during the time of the fur trade.

Where the bison roam again: In Alberta, the Métis

Where the bison roam again: In Alberta, the Métis Crossing cultural centre is expanding into a year-round destination.

"It’s been 12 years since the founding board of Métis Crossing first envisioned a cultural centre just outside Smoky Lake, Alta., where visitors could explore the banks of the North Saskatchewan River and make a journey into the heart of Métis culture through experiential, hands-on learning. But it’s been around 160 years since the last bison — or “bufloo” in Michif, the language of the Métis — roamed these hills."

Discover a Side of Indigenous Canada at Métis Crossing, Newly Expanding in 2022!

"Métis Crossing is expanding in 2022 with the opening of three cross-country ski trails and a new 40-room lodge. It will be the first year the site is open year-round, and I’ll be there, spending more time connecting with Métis culture.

We were thrilled to be included in this incredible story highlighting Indigenous Tourism in Alberta!

"An hour and a half’s drive north of Edmonton, cultural interpretive center Métis Crossing lies on the original riverfront land of Métis settlers. Here you can dive into Métis culture by paddling a voyageur canoe and exploring the historical village. September saw a new addition to the center: a wildlife park filled with free-roaming bison (subspecies include plains, wood, and the rare white bison), as well as elk and Percheron horses."
