Taliah and Sarina Lyons are Métis jiggers and cultural educators based in the Ottawa/Gatineau area but have toured all over North America. They are Swampy Cree Métis, and their living family has continuously resided in the same northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan communities for the past 140 years. The sisters learned to dance at a very early age. Métis jigging is a beautiful blend of traditional First Nations and European dance styles (mainly Irish, French, and Scottish). Their unique style combines everything they’ve learned from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Ontario.
