Full Description
Métis Coming Together invites readers to witness the knowledge exchanges that occur in community. Diverse perspectives from Métis across the homeland help us convene a dynamic and generous thinking space to broaden our individual and collective understandings of Métis-ness. Topics addressed from a Métis lens include relationality, kinship, history, storytelling, language revitalization, poetry, futurities, sexuality, feminisms, geographies, religion and spirituality, self-determination, and sovereignty. The collection provides opportunities to learn contemporary Métis ways of knowing and being.
