Located on five original M\u00e9tis River Lots that were established during the Fur Trade era, M\u00e9tis Crossing is nestled in the center of the original Victoria Settlement which was a vibrant community of families from the many nearby river lots, Fort Victoria trading post, and the Victoria mission. M\u00e9tis Crossing tells the story of the Alberta M\u00e9tis, who are a distinct nation of Indigenous people whose diversity is woven together with strong commonalities. Through immersive interpretive programs that include M\u00e9tis historical homesteads, land based learning opportunities, and the new Cultural Gathering Centre, visitors delight in authentic and meaningful experiences. Since being established, M\u00e9tis Crossing has been a premiere place for the sharing of M\u00e9tis culture, M\u00e9tis gatherings, educational opportunities, and business development.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><small><em>-from <a href=\"https:\/\/metiscrossing.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"M\u00e9tis Crossing (opens in a new tab)\">M\u00e9tis Crossing<\/a><\/em><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00ab\u00a0M\u00e9tis Crossing Public Art Call is open to all Indigenous artists and artist teams residing in Alberta, Canada.
