Metis History - Ron Burwash

Access

About

In celebration of the 150 Anniversary of the Manitoba Metis Federation the Flin Flon Arts Council was excited to share a chat we had with Ron Burwash. Ron has roots originating from the founding fathers of Manitoba. His grandfathers (you need to put a few greats in front of that) include Cuthbert Grant, Jean Baptiste Lagimodiere and Louis Riel. He remembers hearing stories from his grandfather about York Boats and Ox Carts. In this digital recording Ron will sing a song that his grandmother sang to him as a child and is connected to Louis Riel. Oh, and Ron was a Flin Flon Bomber who played with Bob (aka Bobby) Clark and Reggie Leach.
