Contours of a people : Metis family, mobility, and history

St-Onge, Nicole, (editor.). Podruchny, Carolyn, (editor.). Macdougall, Brenda, 1969- (editor.). Campbell, Maria, 1940- (foreward.).

Summary: "What does it mean to be Metis? How do the Metis understand their world, and how do family, community, and location shape their consciousness? Such questions inform this collection of essays on the northwestern North American people of mixed European and Native ancestry who emerged in the seventeenth century as a distinct culture. Volume editors Nicole St-Onge, Carolyn Podruchny, and Brenda Macdougall go beyond the concern with race and ethnicity that takes center stage in most discussions of Metis culture to offer new ways of thinking about Metis identity."--
