“Genot Picor: Stories, Songs and Dances of the Voyageurs”

Three hundred years ago, a mixed blood (called Metis’) scout disappeared into the wilderness to explore and trade. He found his way to the Great Lakes, where the Ojibwa People of the region took him in. He was given a name and became part of their tribe.

Today, he returns to share with you the stories, songs, and dances of the places he explored, from the Great Lakes, to the Ohio, Mississippi, St. Lawrence, and Mohawk Valleys.

Genot Picor Presents “Stories, Songs and Dances of the Metis’ Voyageur.”
