Known as \u201cCanada\u2019s forgotten people,\u201d the M\u00e9tis<\/a> have long been here, but until 1982 they lacked the legal status of Native people. At that point, however, the M\u00e9tis were recognized in the constitution as one of Canada\u2019s Aboriginal peoples. A significant addition to M\u00e9tis historiography<\/a>, The Long Journey of a Forgotten People<\/em> includes M\u00e9tis voices and personal narratives that address the thorny and complicated issue of M\u00e9tis identity from historical and contemporary perspectives. Topics include eastern Canadian M\u00e9tis communities; British military personnel and their mixed-blood descendants; life as a M\u00e9tis woman; and the M\u00e9tis peoples ongoing struggle for recognition of their rights, including discussion of recent Supreme Court rulings.<\/p>\n
