2013 Asham Stomperfest

We are dedicated to re-capturing and preserving the history of the Metis people!

Join us for fun and enjoy the richness of the Metis tradition though the Red River Jig combined with square dancing which has been a tradition through the First Nations Communities for so many years  it is aptly named the Red River Dance.

The Red River Jig was developed in the late 1700's by the first Metis colony which was at the junction of the Red & Assiniboine rivers to attract fur traders into the colony to trade furs.

Our purpose is to help bring hope to our children in the aboriginal community by taking something right out of the community to the world stage successfully and independently.

the Stompers receive standing ovations wherever they perform and we consider it a success if we pass the Jig on to our youth and therefore have youth.

Join us for our 10th anniversary of Asham Stomperfest
