We think of Métis as having Prairie roots. Quebec doesn’t
recognize a historical Métis community, and the Métis National
Council contests the existence of any Métis east of Ontario.
Quebec residents who seek recognition as Métis under the Canadian
Constitution therefore face an uphill legal and political battle.
Who is right? Bois-Brûlés examines archival and ethnographic
evidence to challenge two powerful nationalisms – Métis and
Québécois – that interpret Métis identity in the province as
“race-shifting.” This controversial work, previously available
only in French, conclusively demonstrates that a Métis community
emerged in early-nineteenth-century Quebec and can be traced all
the way to today.
