Originating in the Red River area, the Métis jig is a combination of First Nations dancing, Scottish and French-Canadian step-dancing, and reel, jig, and quadrille steps. Brad Lafortune began jigging at a young age and believes the dance is an interactive way to physically engage individuals of any age, all the while learning about the intricacies of Métis culture.
