The Métis have gone from being “the forgotten people” to one of Canada’s three recognized Aboriginal peoples in the 1982, Constitution Act. In the years since 1982, Métis Studies has emerged as a flourishing field of critically interrogating Métis history, nationhood and peoplehood. This interdisciplinary course introduces students to foundational texts and emerging areas, situating Métis studies in the wider field of Indigenous Studies. This course will explore new areas of inquiry including Métis futurisms, Land Back and the emergence of claims to Métis identity outside the Métis homeland. Métis writers, thinkers and artists will form the basis of the course readings.
