Métis Rising: Beading Métis Identity and Constitutional Rights

Bys: Boyer, Yvonne and Chartrand, Larry

Book Overview

At once bound by and beyond the constitution, M?tis peoples occupy an unstable position in Canadian law. While scholars debate the scope of M?tis constitutional rights, reconciliation cannot be achieved without confronting indigenous experiences with colonization. In Bead by Bead, contributors unpack the ongoing denial of M?tis land, resource, and sovereignty claims under Canadian law. This nuanced analysis of how current legal doctrine limits M?tis rights reveals the complexity of indigenous and settler relationships and uncovers new avenues toward a more just future.
