Author/Creator
Catherine E. Bell
"with a new preface and postscript".
General overview of Métis history, dispersion and employment patterns with special reference to the author's family.
Discusses Joseph Zépherin LaRocque, born in Lebret, Saskatchewan, who was one of the very few Métis vernacular historians writing in the early 20th century.
Argues that the Métis were not an impediment to Euro-Canadian development and that their fight to be recognized as a "New Nation" played a significant role in the creation of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
