An art exhibition at Harcourt House in Edmonton in November 2006 will feature Metis artist David Garneau, so the artist wants other Metis to exhibit along side him.
Garneau's exhibit is titled Cowboys and Indians (and Metis?), and it questions how Metis are to be considered in traditional cowboys and Indians or settler-Indian situations. The exhibit has shown across Canada from Quebec to Western Canada.
