Description

Metis Rising presents a remarkable cross-section of perspectives to demonstrate that there is no single Metis experience - only a common sense of belonging and a commitment to justice. The contributors to this unique collection, most of whom are Metis themselves, offer accounts ranging from personal reflections on identity to tales of advocacy against poverty and poor housing, and for the recognition of Metis rights. This extraordinary work exemplifies how contemporary Metis identity has been forged into a force to be reckoned with.
