It was an honour and blessing to have MB Premier Wab Kinew
visit my uncle Armand J. Paquette and family.
My uncle is 93yrs, a very famous renowned Métis artist
whose career has been over 70+ yrs.
(Please google his name and enjoy his master pieces.)
He is probably the oldest active Metis artist in Canada.
