Whoop & Hollar Folk Festival
Whoop & Hollar Folk Festival recognizes the deep cultural roots of Manitoba and the Portage la Prairie region, which go back thousands of years. The festival site is situated on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Dakota, Dene, and Oji-Cree peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation.
Our organization respects the signing of Treaty 1 on these lands, acknowledges the past harm and lasting injustice of colonialism, and strives to move forward with our Indigenous brothers and sisters to build a common future of love, peace, and reconciliation—through inclusion and engagement, cultural activities, and musical programming.
