In this era of reconciliation, Stories of Métis Women explains the Métis Nation from the women's perspective. Often misunderstood, the Métis are an Indigenous People with a unique and proud history and Nation. This book celebrates Nation building, culture, identity, and resilience, but also deals with the dark times of residential schools, discrimination, and racism. The women's stories are in English and Northern Michif language. - Univ of Toronto Pr
This book, and accompanying Vimeo documentary link (DVD available on request), is a collection of stories about culture, history, and nationhood as told by M?tis women. The M?tis are known by many names — Otipemisiwak, “the people who own ourselves;” Bois Brules, “Burnt Wood;” Apeetogosan, “half brother” by the Cree; “half-breed,” historically; and are also known as “rebels” and “traitors to Canada.” They are also known as the “Forgotten People.” Few really know their story.
Many people may also think that M?tis simply means “mixed,” but it does not. They are a people with a unique and proud history and Nation. In this era of reconciliation, Stories of M?tis Women explains the story of the M?tis Nation from a their own perspective. The UN has declared this “The Decade of Indigenous Languages” and Stories of M?tis Women is one of the few books available in English and Michif, which is an endangered language.
