Paperback. Metis Rising draws on a remarkable cross-section of perspectives to tell the histories and stories of people from richly varied backgrounds, demonstrating 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, examine often-neglected aspects of Metis existence. They talk about the arduous journey to rebuild the Metis nation from a once-marginalized and defeated people; their accounts ranging from personal reflections on identity to tales of advocacy against poverty and poor housing, and for the recognition of Metis rights.Metis Rising is an extraordinary work that exemplifies how contemporary Metis identity has been forged into a force to be reckoned with. Metis Rising brings together a vibrant collection of essays on history, politics, and culture that celebrate the resilience of Metis identity.
