In A People and a Nation, the authors, most of whom are Metis, offer readers a set of lenses through which to consider the complexity of historical and contemporary Metis nationhood and peoplehood. The field of Metis Studies has been afflicted by a longstanding tendency to situate Metis within deeply racialized contexts, and/or by an overwhelming focus on the nineteenth century. This volume challenges the pervasive racialization of Metis studies with multidisciplinary chapters on identity, history, politics, literature, spirituality, religion, and kinship networks, reorienting the conversation toward Metis experiences today.
