Willow Lake Métis Nation was honored to attend and present at Tatanka Wichohan 2026 in Winnipeg, hosted by the National Circle for Indigenous Agriculture and Food.

Representing WLMN were Matthew Michetti, Destiny Martin, and Kyle Whitford, who had the privilege of sharing the Nation’s journey of bringing wood bison back to the Wood Buffalo region, from the early vision and community direction to the partnerships, learning, and work that helped make it possible.

It was an incredible experience. We learned so much, met many wonderful people, made lasting connections, and were grateful to be surrounded by others who share a deep respect for the bison and the role they continue to hold in culture, food sovereignty, land stewardship, and Indigenous-led restoration.

Being able to share WLMN’s passion for the bison, and to speak about the path our Nation has been walking, was truly meaningful. We left inspired, encouraged, and even more committed to the work ahead.

A heartfelt thank you to NCIAF, the organizers, speakers, Knowledge Keepers, and everyone who made Tatanka Wichohan such a powerful gathering. 🦬

The long awaited journey home.

This winter, bison returned to Willow Lake Métis territory for the first time. From the moment they loaded up, to the moment they stepped onto the land where they belong, we were there to capture it all.

For generations, our people and the bison have been connected. To food. To ceremony. To identity. Losing them wasn't just an ecological loss, it was a cultural one. And bringing them back isn't just a land story. It's a people story.

Today We Remember. Today We Stand. 💔

On Red Dress Day, Willow Lake Métis Nation joins communities across Turtle Island in honouring Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S+). Each red dress represents a life taken, a family forever changed, a story that deserves to be heard.

Tomorrow, we walk together. Join us for the WLMN Red Dress Day Walk as we move as a community in honour of those we've lost and in solidarity with families still searching for answers.

We wear red to remember. We raise our voices to demand justice, systemic change, and an end to this ongoing tragedy.

To every sister, daughter, mother, auntie, and two-spirit relative no longer with us, you are not forgotten. Your lives mattered. Your stories matter. Your memory drives us forward.

Together, we remember. Together, we demand change.
