About this document
Métis Survival Amid Imperial Occupation by Metis Talking Stick is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This paper examines how imperial occupation in the late 19th to early 20th centuries transformed the possibilities for the Métis indigenous nation to use their ancestral homeland in what is now the northern Great Plains of North America. Specifically, it analyzes how the US defined Métis people living south of the Canada-US border as foreign and excluded them from rights to resources. This discursive displacement left many Métis in a legal and social limbo where they could claim no rights as white Americans
