Abstract

The current historiography of the Great Plains Metis finds its roots in the work of Sylvia Van Kirk, Jennifer Brown, Jacqueline Petersen, and to a lesser degree John Foster. These and other contributions have been outlined in my "Metis Studies: The Development of a Field and New Directions" in From Rupert's Land to Canada: Essays in Honor of John E Foster (Edmonton: University of Alberta Press, 2001).
