早期来到加拿大的欧洲毛皮商人向他们遇到的原住民介绍小提琴，并与他们通婚。他们的后代被成为梅提人，这些人将欧洲人的曲调与加拿大原住民的韵律相结合，开创了一个独特的音乐传统。 In How the Fiddle Flows Greg Coyes takes viewers on another historic trip across Canada, this time using the fiddle as a grand metaphor to tell a distinctly Canadian story, the birth of the Metis people. It is a story of mythic dimension. For Coyes, himself a Metis, this is a personal and communal journey. The well-known Canadian Metis actor Tantoo Cardinal provides the narration for this adventure. This is her history too.
