Summary:
"An intriguing look at the connections between Alberta
premier
Peter
Lougheed
and his
Métis
grandmother
, Isabella Clarke Hardisty
Lougheed
, exploring how
Métis
identity
, political activism, and colonial institutional power shaped the lives and legacies of both. Combining the approaches of political biography and historical narrative, The
Premier
and His
Grandmother
introduces readers to two compelling and complex public figures. Born into a prominent fur trading family, Isabella Clarke Hardisty
Lougheed
(1861-1936) established a distinct role for herself as an influential
Métis
woman in southern Alberta, at a time when racial boundaries in the province were hardening and
Métis
activists established a firm foundation for the
Métis
to be recognized as distinct Indigenous Peoples. Isabella's grandson Edgar
Peter
Lougheed
(1928-2021) served as
premier
of Alberta at a time when some of that activism achieved both successes and losses. Drawing on
Peter
Lougheed
's personal papers, family interviews, and archival research, this book analyzes his political initiatives in the context of his own
identity
as a person of
Métis
ancestry. While there are several publications that refer to
Peter
Lougheed
in the context of his role as
premier
, few of those publications have acknowledged his connection to an important
Métis
pioneer family and his connection to his Indigenous ancestors."-- Provided by publisher.
