Notes

Comparative biography of two prominent Métis women, Marie Rose Delorme Smith (1861–1960) and Isabella Clark Hardisty Lougheed (1859–1936), whose lives spanned the transition from the fur trade era to the agricultural and industrial economies of the Canadian West. Drawing on archival and family sources, MacKinnon examines their kinship networks, cultural identities, family lives, and economic activities, while exploring the role of Métis women in the settlement and development of southern Alberta.
