ISBN:  9781770412415 (pbk.) 1770412417 (pbk.) Description:  pages cm. Notes:  "a misFit book"--Title page. Poems. Summary:  "A picture of the Riel Resistance from one of Canada's preeminent Métis poets. With a title derived from John A. Macdonald's moniker for the Métis, Pemmican Eaters explores Marilyn Dumont's sense of history as the dynamic present. Combining free verse and metered poems, her latest collection aims to recreate a palpable sense of the Riel Resistance period in Métis history and evoke the geographical, linguistic/cultural, and political situation of Batoche during this time through the eyes of those who experienced the battles, as well as through the eyes of Gabriel and Madeleine Dumont and Louis Riel. Included in this collection are poems about the bison, seed beadwork, and the Red River Cart, employing elements of the Michif language, which was spoken by Dumont's ancestors along with French and Cree. A multiplicity of identity is a strengthening rather than a weakening or diluting force in culture. Marilyn Dumont has been the writer-in-residence at five Canadian universities and advisor in the Aboriginal Emerging Writers Program at the Banff Centre. She teaches sessional creative writing for Athabasca University and Native studies and English for the University of Alberta. She lives in Edmonton, Alberta"--Provided by publisher.
