MEDIA INDIGENA 72 (Patreon)

The first in a two-part conversation confronting the confusion and  contention around what it means to be Métis. 

In their new article, "White Settler Revisionism and Making Métis Everywhere: The Evocation of Métissage in Québec and Nova Scotia," co-authors Adam Gaudry (University of Alberta) and Darryl Leroux (Saint Mary’s University) argue that moves by some settler communities to insert a "Métis" identity into places and periods they don’t belong—namely, outside the Prairie homelands of the historic Métis Nation—all in an effort to 'self-Indigenize,' don’t just constitute wrong-headed fantasy, but a real and present danger to genuine Indigenous self-determination.
