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.
