Metis and the Medicine Line is a sprawling, ambitious look at how
national borders and notions of race were created and manipulated
to unlock access to indigenous lands. It is also an intimate story
of individuals and families, brought vividly to life by history
writing at its best. It begins with the emergence of the Plains
Metis and ends with the fracturing of their communities as the
Canada-U.S. border was enforced. It also explores the borderland
world of the Northern Plains, where an astonishing diversity of
people met and mingled: Blackfoot, Cree, Gros Ventre, Lakota,
Dakota, Nez Perce, Assiniboine, Anishinaabes, Metis, Europeans,
Canadians, Americans, soldiers, police, settlers, farmers, hunters,
traders, bureaucrats. In examining the battles that emerged over
who belonged on what side of the border, Hogue disputes Canada's
peaceful settlement story of the Prairie West and challenges
familiar bromides about the "world's longest undefended border."
