Riassunto:

A diverse collection of writings about the resilience of the Métis people.
 
A collection of diverse stories from a richly varied people, Métis Rising testifies that there is no single Métis experience, only a shared sense of belonging and commitment to justice. Contributors examine aspects of Métis resilience and identity as they trace ongoing efforts to establish their rights through personal narratives and political activism. Extraordinary in their range, taken together, these works exemplify how contemporary Métis identity evolved into a powerful force of reckoning.
