Eastern Métis
In Eastern Métis, Michel Bouchard, Sébastien Malette, and Siomonn Pulla demonstrate the historical and social evidence for the origins and continued existence of Métis communities across Ontario, Quebec, and the Canadian Maritimes as well as the West. Contributors to this edited collection explore archival and historical records that challenge narratives which exclude the possibility of Métis communities and identities in central and eastern Canada. Taking a continental rhizomatic approach, this book provides a rich and nuanced view of what it means to be Métis.
The Riel Problem
Albert Braz examines how Louis Riel has been commemorated since 1967, charting his transformation from traitor to Canadian hero.
Voicing Identity
Written by leading Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, Voicing Identity examines the issue of cultural appropriation in the contexts of researching, writing, and teaching about Indigenous peoples. This book grapples with the questions of who is qualified to engage in these activities and how this can be done appropriately and respectfully. The authors address these questions from their individual perspectives and experiences, often revealing their personal struggles and their ongoing attempts to resolve them. There is diversity in perspectives and approaches, but also a common goal: to conduct research and teach in respectful ways that enhance understanding of Indigenous histories, cultures, and rights, and promote reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Bringing together contributors with diverse backgrounds and unique experiences, Voicing Identity will be of interest to students and scholars studying Indigenous issues as well as anyone seeking to engage in the work of making Canada a model for just relations between the original peoples and newcomers.
We All Go Back to the Land
Getting the Land Acknowledgement Right Land Acknowledgements often begin academic conferences, cultural events, government press gatherings, and even hockey games. They are supposed to be an act of Reconciliation between Indigenous peoples in Canada and non-Indigenous Canadians, but they have become so routine and formulaic that they have sometimes lost meaning. Seen more and more as empty words, some events have dropped Land Acknowledgements altogether. Métis artist and educator Suzanne Keeptwo wants to change that. She sees the Land Acknowledgement as an opportunity for Indigenous peoples in Canada to communicate a message to non-Indigenous Canadians—a message founded upon Age Old Wisdom about how to sustain the Land we all want to call home. This is an essential narrative for truth sharing and knowledge acquisition.
Infodemic Disorder
This contributed volume identifies how the information processes of public institutions and citizens have changed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, within a new context that emerged: the infodemic disorder. Public debate is largely characterized today by a crisis of the legitimacy of institutions, accompanied by a crisis of authority in public communication, leading to the emergency of a state of information disorder due specifically to the need to find information related to the coping of the pandemic.

De freemen à Métis : l'histoire retrouvée des gens libres entre la Baie-James et Montréal
Les gens libres, ces anciens employés des compagnies de fourrures installés à demeure dans le « pays indien » une fois leurs contrats terminés, et prenant souvent pour épouses des femmes autochtones, ont traditionnellement été associés à l’émergence des Métis dans l’Ouest canadien. Mais qu’en est-il de la présence historique de ces gens libres dans la grande région située entre la baie James et Montréal ? N’étaient-ils pas, là aussi, des acteurs importants du commerce pelletier et des relations avec les populations autochtones ? L’enquête ethnohistorique à laquelle nous convie l’auteur vise à documenter pour la première fois de façon fouillée la présence des freemen sur ce territoire au xixe siècle, ainsi qu’à reconstituer leur mode de vie. Grâce à plusieurs types de sources – archivistiques ou orales –, il devient possible de comprendre les conditions favorables à leur développement sur le territoire à l’étude, mais aussi comment une partie de leur descendance mobilise cet héritage pour se concevoir comme partie prenante de l’autochtonie métisse.
