Description
Discusses how the term 'Métis' has been constituted according to racial rather than indigenous national constructions and argues that the Canadian census' lack of explicit categories to distinguish Métis Nation allegiance further naturalizes a racialised construction of Métis at the expense of an indigenously national one.
