Métis Sash in Baby's

Metis Sashes are worn with pride, typically tied around the waist or worn with Metis regalia. The sash has adopted many variations of colours over the years that now include blue and white, red, black, yellow and green. The blue and white stands for one of the national flags that is blue with a white figure eight in the middle. The red sash represents the other national flag that is red in colour and has a white infinity symbol as well. The black sash is a symbol of the dark era of the Metis people. At this time the Metis had their land taken away and were being beaten and shot on the streets of Winnipeg.
