How the Fiddle Flows
(2002, 48 min.) CANADA
Director: Gregory Coyes (Métis Cree)
Produced in association with the National Film Board of Canada

Traveling Canada's great rivers, this documentary traces the evolution of Métis fiddling. Born of the music of European fur traders and the First Nations communities they married into, this joyous sound is captured here in performances and at the artists' homes.
