Our episode is live on YouTube! Completely in Southern Michif thanks to Elder Verna DeMontigny you were the perfect person to have in the TV show!

This was such an amazing experience for me and Mom and being able to welcome the Métis Aunties Paulette and Suzanne. It's an experience we won't forget!

I almost couldn't help but tear up at the end because Paulette passed away after filming this series and she mentions wanting to visit with me again at the end of the episode. I'm sure we will get that visit again.

"In St. Albert (AB), Joshua and his mother welcome our two ‘Aunties’. In their kitchen, they discuss Two-Spirit and Indigenous leadership, culture and activism, highlighting the importance of preserving Métis traditions for future generation."

We were so honored and grateful to be involved with the filming of Métis Foodies with Suzanne and Paulette and to host them in Juneau House! It was an experience we will never forget! Check us out on the upcoming APTN TV series Métis/Michif Foodies!

Two feisty Métis aunties travel across the Prairies, visiting homes, kitchens, and communities where food becomes a gateway to deeper connection. With humor and heart, they cook alongside families, Elders, and knowledge keepers, sharing stories of culture, resilience, identity, and loss. From land-based traditions to modern expressions of Métis life, each gathering reveals how food, laughter, and storytelling keep community strong and culture alive.
