Summary:
"Leading scholars in the fields of history, anthropology, constitutional law, political science, and sociology identify the many facets of what it means to be Métis in Canada today. After the Powley decision in 2003, Métis people were no longer conceptually limited to the historical boundaries of the fur trade in Canada. Key ideas explored in this collection include identity, rights, and issues of governance, politics, and economics. For scholars of political science and native studies, the legal community, public administrators, government policy advisors, and people seeking to better understand the Métis past and present.
