<\/a><\/p>\n

M\u00e9tis Rising<\/em> draws on a remarkable cross-section of perspectives to tell the histories, stories, and dreams of people from varied backgrounds, demonstrating that there is no single M\u00e9tis<\/a> experience \u2013 only a common sense of belonging and a commitment to justice.<\/p>\n

The contributors to this unique collection, most of whom are M\u00e9tis themselves, examine often-neglected aspects of M\u00e9tis existence in Canada<\/a>. They trace a turbulent course, illustrating how M\u00e9tis leaders were born out of the need to address abhorrent social and economic disparities following the M\u00e9tis\u2013Canadian war of 1885. They talk about the long and arduous journey to rebuild the M\u00e9tis nation from a once marginalized and defeated people; their accounts ranging from personal reflections on identity to tales of advocacy against poverty and poor housing. And they address the indictment of the jurisdictional gap whereby neither federal nor provincial governments would accept governance responsibility towards M\u00e9tis people.<\/p>\n

M\u00e9tis Rising<\/em> is an extraordinary work that exemplifies how contemporary M\u00e9tis identity has been forged by social, economic, and political concerns into a force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n

A must-read not only for scholars and students of M\u00e9tis and Indigenous studies but for lawyers, policymakers, and all Canadians who wish a broader understanding of this country\u2019s colonial past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
