Metis-Cree musician Elsie Justus (Burger) is from High Prairie, AB. Her father played fiddle and when she was 12 years old, he taught her to play the guitar so she could accompany him. In the late 1950s, with young family and her ‘bull fiddle’ in tow, Elsie moved north, eventually settling in Pine Point, NT to work at the mine. There, she played with her band “The Pine Tones” at the Pine Point Hotel through the 1970s.
