Publisher Synopsis
In a meticulously crafted study of the connections between the Metis families of the Sakitawak (Ile a la Crosse) region of Saskatchewan, Brenda Macdougall adds richness to a familiar story by extending the focus of her study from the geographic, temporal, and cultural preeminence of Red River in historical discourse. -- Venetia Boehmer-Plotz, Brock University * H-Canada Review * An impressive work that traces the emergence of the Metis community "as an expression of Aboriginality" (p. 56). One of the Family emerges as a welcome and much-needed contribution to the field and should serve as a valuable framework for future research. Both captivating and rigorous, this book is sure to engage scholars interested in Aboriginal-newcomer relations and Metis identity studies -- Venetia Boehmer-Plotz, Brock University * H-Canada * Read more...
