Summary:
"In
Metis
Pioneers
, Doris Jeanne MacKinnon compares the survival strategies of two
Metis
women born during the fur trade-one from the French-speaking free trade tradition and one from the English-speaking Hudson's Bay Company tradition - who settled in southern Alberta as the fur trade transitioned to a sedentary agricultural and industrial economy. MacKinnon provides rare insight into their lives, demonstrating the contributions
Metis
women made to the building of the prairie west. This is a compelling tale of two women's acts of quiet resistance in the final days of the British Empire."--From publisher.
