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.
Speakers discuss the issue of who and what defines Indigenous identity, settler-state's practice of imposing their definitions, the phenomenon of "playing Indian", and broader social interpretations of court decisions such as Daniels.
Duration: 1:59:35. Presentations are part of the conference "Daniels: In and Beyond the Law" held at University of Alberta, Jan. 26-27, 2017.
