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