The History of the Manitoba Métis Federation: Includes Memorable Métis Personalities of Manitoba

This textbook was written to provide a primer on the socio-political events relating to the
Métis struggle for sovereignty in self-governance in Manitoba. The focus is on the creation
of the Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF) as the political representative of the Métis
Nation in Manitoba. The second half of the book features biographies of the Métis people
who worked to establish MMF and other memorable Métis people who have contributed
greatly to the life of the Métis community in Manitoba. This is in effect an overview of
“Métis history through biography.” This text was specifically written to support the MMF
staff training in Métis History and Culture that has been developed over the past ten
years.
