About the Norman Chief Memorial Dancers
The Norman Chief Memorial Dancers were founded in 2004 by Sonny and Terri Delaronde in memory of the late Norman Chief, a Métis musician, singer, and entertainer. The group's primary purpose is to promote and develop community spirit through traditional style Métis music and dance. The team dances at fundraising events in Indigenous communities throughout Manitoba to further promote Métis culture and heritage.
Aboriginal Music Manitoba (AMM) acknowledges the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Canada Council for the Arts, the Manitoba Arts Council, and the Winnipeg Arts Council for their financial support of the sākihiwē festival's outreach programming.
