Papaashi Bufloo

The Buffalo Who Raced Horses

A new Michif-language children’s book by Sherry Leigh Williams, rooted in Métis history and family memory. Several of the paintings in this show are illustrations from its pages — from the river valley where the story begins to the race that changes everything.

Funded by Métis Nation British Columbia.
