This book details the contributions of the Métis people to Canada. It also contains an extensive photo collection of Métis material culture and an annotated bibliography.
The most ambitious annotated bibliography of Métis history and culture to date, Métis Legacy contains an extensive collection of Métis material culture and the largest collection of previously unpublished Métis articles ever assembled.
A joint Millennium Project of GDI, the Louis Riel Institute and the Government of Canada, this valuable contribution to the historiography outlines Métis history and culture in the Prairies, the Northwest Territories and the northern and Midwestern United States.
Renowned Métis Studies specialists such as Diane Payment, Peter Bakker, Tanis Thorne, Morgan Baillargeon and Lynn Whidden analyze various aspects of Métis history and culture. Métis Legacy was compiled by Lawrence J. Barkwell, Leah Dorion and Darren Prefontaine. In 2002, Métis Legacy won a Saskatchewan Book Award in the Publishing in Education Category.
Review exerpts:
"This book will be the definitive textbook on the Métis for the next generation. It is the first work of international cooperation, derived from within the Métis community and its institutions. It will serve to reunite the Métis on both sides of the 'Medicine Line'." (Nicholas Vrooman, Director of Northern Plains Folklife Resources and former State Folklorist, North Dakota and Montana)
... "Métis Legacy makes an important contribution, both as an opportunity to review and reassess the state of Métis Studies, and as an occasion to showcase examples of that new scholarship and of the teaching and research resources now available in the field. The book is an excellent example of the potential of effective scholarly collaboration between the academy and the community; and it will prove a very useful resource.... Highly Recommended". (
Alexander Gregor, Professor, University of Manitoba).
"This valuable resource about Métis history and culture is an important addition to our national store of historical accounts. This book gives readers an insight into the important role that the Métis people have played in Canada's heritage, as well as their contribution to literature, music and the visual arts. Their many achievements are an inspiration to others and will be a source of pride to future generations. This publication serves as an important educational resource for all students of Métis history and culture and, indeed, for anyone interested in the Métis people. The Government of Canada supported this publication with a financial contribution through the Canada Millennium Partnership Program". (Honourable Herb Gray, Deputy Prime Minister of Canada)
