In 2025, for its 10th edition, the event collaborated with Andrée Levesque Sioui and Sandrine Masse as honorary patrons.

Born in Quebec City, Andrée Levesque Sioui is a multi-talented Wendat artist. A singer, composer, author, poet, and finger-weaver, she also teaches the Wendat language to the youth of Wendake.

After a journey that took her to various regions of Quebec, she returned to her grandmother’s community in the 2000s. Already a polyglot, she decided to dedicate herself to the Yawenda revitalization project. From that point on, the Wendat language became the heart of her artistic process. Although she has always loved reading and writing, her musical career developed before her career in the literary arts. She has participated in the creation of several albums, including Yahndawa’ (2011), Fais dodo mon trésor (2012), and Ozalik (2013).

After a long creative process, her very first collection of poetry, Chant(s), was finally published by Éditions Hannenorak in March 2021. The book is a tribute to the women in her life, but it also addresses various issues, such as those experienced by First Nations members within the Quebec cultural landscape.
