Notes


Teillet offers a broad, history of the Métis Nation from its emergence in the late eighteenth century to the present day. Drawing on archival sources, family accounts, and Métis oral tradition, she follows the formation of early Métis communities, the rise of influential leaders, and the series of major collective struggles that shaped Métis political identity. The book traces the community’s movements across the prairie homeland, their economic and cultural traditions, their role in pivotal resistances, and the continuing issues surrounding recognition and rights in modern Canada.
