A People and a Nation: New Directions in Contemporary Métis Studies

Book Overview

The field of M tis Studies has been afflicted by a longstanding tendency to situate M tis within deeply racialized contexts, and/or by an overwhelming focus on the nineteenth century. A People and A Nation ranges across identity, history, politics, literature, spirituality, religion, and kinship networks to reorient the conversation toward M tis experiences today. It also dismantles the narrow notions that continue to shape understandings of M tis existence to convincingly demonstrate a more robust approach to Metis studies centered on M tis peoplehood and nationhood.
