Pushed to the historical and social margins for too long, Eastern Métis reviews the record of these sidelined communities and the effort to reclaim their past. This book is the first-ever scholarly endeavor to trace the emergence and consolidation of Métis identities from the Atlantic Coast to Ontario and beyond.
Derided as being fake, race-shifting, cultural appropriators, Eastern Métis demonstrates the historical and social evidence for the origins and continued existence of Métis communities across Ontario and the Canadian Maritimes as well as the West. The authors in this volume explore the archival and historical record that challenges dominant nationalist tropes of all stripes, narratives which exclude the very possibility of legitimate Métis communities and identities in central and eastern Canada. Taking a continental rhizomatic approach, the book provides a rich and nuanced view of what it means to be Métis.
