The Politics of Becoming
From: Songs Upon the Rivers

The authors muse on the role Métis people played in the history of North America, and the way history has been represented/rewritten to exclude their participation in and influence on this history. The authors highlight the multifaceted nature of Métis culture, identity, and nationhood.
