Festival du Voyageur
Once again Manitoba Living History is presenting “The People of Red River” at the FDV Fur Trade Museum in the Partners’ Room on the second floor of the Maison du Bourgeois.
There is a weaving presentation consisting of a floor loom, finger weaving, and a paddle loom, and agriculture display with our new, larger and heavier quern, a tanka (bison hunt) display, a First Nations display, and the new Governor Miles Macdonell display is all its luxury. Other members bringing personal displays as they volunteer – a small display of toys and children skills, a HBC clerk and his desk, and embroidery and tailoring work, to name a few.
