Day 73 - “Harry Daniels” - Patti Kusturok’s 365 Days of Fiddle Tunes
John Arcand wrote this great tune for Harry Daniels, a Métis leader. I remember him as a man with a sparkle in his eye, a captivating smile, and man, could he jig!! Here’s a little bio of Harry, and a link to more info about him.
”Harry Wilfred Daniels, politician, writer, actor (born 16 September 1940 in Regina Beach, SK; died 6 September 2004 in Regina Beach). Daniels was a celebrated Métis politician and activist who fought for the rights of Métis people. His greatest contribution to Indigenous rights in Canada was the Supreme Court case Daniels v. Canada, which guaranteed that Métis and Non-Status Indians are considered “Indian” under the Constitution Act, 1867.”
