Cool Gardens 2025 Invited Installation

The purpose of Tawnday pe’ oototayan? is to display flora from selected ecosystems across the Red River Métis Homeland: the Boreal Forest, the Aspen Parkland, and the Northern Tallgrass Prairie. These ecosystems are unique from each other due to climate and topography. The Boreal Forest spans across the Northern Regions of the Canadian Provinces, and is a vast region of coniferous forests, wetlands, and lakes. The Aspen Parkland serves as a transitional zone between the Prairie and Boreal Forest, featuring open grasslands mixed with aspen groves and shrub lands. South of the Aspen Parkland in Manitoba lies the Northern Tallgrass Prairie, which hosts a variety of habitats including wet and dry tall grass prairies, wetlands, and woodlands. Each of these ecosystems have critical threats that endanger their existence. By displaying key plants of these regions, Tawnday pe’ oototayan? hopes to inspire visitors to learn more about the traditional and the changing landscapes in the Red River Métis Homeland.

The Manitoba Métis Federation is the National Government of the Red River Métis (MMF).Tawnday pe’oototayan? is a collaboration between staff members from MMF Energy, Infrastructure, and Resource Management Department

(EIRM) – Agriculture Portfolio and the MMF Culture and Heritage Department.

The MMF Culture and Heritage Department commits to protect, promote, and enhance Red River Métis culture, heritage, and language through effective programs, services, and information, so that the role of the Red River Métis in Canada’s past and present is recognized and that Red River Métis Citizens and Community thrive for generations to come.
