“A Voyageur’s Tale”

French-Canadian and French-Indian Dance

See the history of Minnesota and the Upper Midwest come alive as French voyageur and fur trader “Jean-Christophe” paddles and dances his way from Quebec to the Boundary Waters through land that was once called New France. You will meet his French-Ojibwe family and discover how the customs, clothing, and dance of these two cultures blended to create a large part of our regional heritage. The audience will have the opportunity to learn French words, sing a voyageur song, and master canoe paddle tricks! Student volunteers will dance an historic dance game to live fiddle music. A popular school and festival show, this tale is reenacted by two dancers and a fiddler.
