Red River Métis National Heritage Centre

Red River Métis National Heritage Centre

A new story is infused into the neoclassical façade with a screen designed with Métis beadwork artist, Jennine Krauchi. The design blends the building’s decoration with natural motifs found in traditional Métis beadwork. Hundreds of coloured aluminum chains form the screen, a reference to the moment Louis Riel stepped on the surveyor’s chain, forever changing Manitoba’s history.
