[BCMA] Coming soon to ADI: Stewards of our Stories exhibition

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Stewards of Our Stories: Exploring Métis-Led Cultural Care opens November 12 at the Amelia Douglas Institute!

We're excited to host this original exhibition that explores Métis-led cultural stewardship and celebrates historical Métis material arts.

Stewards of Our Stories features items on loan from Heritage Services, City of Surrey, presented alongside objects from the Amelia Douglas Institute's own collection. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore beautifully decorated bags and pouches, intricately beaded housewares, vibrantly embroidered moccasins, and other items that reflect the knowledge, skill, and resilience of the Métis people who made them.

This exhibition celebrates the chance to share these items in a Métis-led space. Their presence at the Amelia Douglas Institute means they can be seen, valued, and understood in the context of Métis ways of knowing. Stewards of Our Stories traces the different journeys Métis objects have taken and highlights how Métis people are reconnecting with their heritage through community-led care of heritage objects.

As the centre for Métis culture and language resources in BC, the Amelia Douglas Institute proudly features rotating exhibitions and a permanent display of Métis art in our Surrey showroom.

Exhibition Dates: November 12, 2025 - May 1, 2026
Admission: $5, free for Indigenous guests
