Derided as being fake, race-shifting, cultural appropriators, Eastern Metis demonstrates the historical and social evidence for the origins and continued existence of Metis communities across Ontario and the Canadian Maritimes as well as the West. The authors in this volume explore the archival and historical record that challenges dominant nationalist tropes of all stripes, narratives which exclude the very possibility of legitimate Metis communities and identities in central and eastern Canada. Taking a continental rhizomatic approach, the book provides a rich and nuanced view of what it means to be Metis.
