Kikino Northern Lites

Kikino Northern lites is a Metis Traditional dance troupe. Formed in 1978 by Metis elders Georgina Thompson and Doris Bellerose. “Kikinois” is Cree, meaning our home.  “Northern Lites” is an ol’ Metis belief that when the Spirits of our loved ones pass on, they join our Ancestors to rejoice in a spiritual dance in the Northern Sky.  The dance lead for many years was Gerald White and his wife Denise. The group thrilled audiences with their energetic steps and upbeat dancing. With the passing of Denise and Gerald, the groups legacy and teachings are now initiated by Lead dancer Trevor White, Geralds youngest son and they continue to preserve and strengthen the Metis culture through music and dance.
