You used to call me marie...​

​

An epic Métis love story. A love story, a historical epic, and a celebration of Métis song and dance. Music fills the air, and ponies dance as Marie Callihoo's story unfolds through generations and time.

We follow Iskwewo, Napew, and Mistatim ('horse' in Michif) in eight intertwined love stories as the Métis Nation rises across the plains. Experiencing the love stories of Alberta's Métis women—through tales of the fur trade, governance, and organizing from the 1930s to today—we see the generations of Callihoo women emerge.
