Abstract

In the last quarter of the nineteenth century, the Dominion of Canada allotted over 1,400,000 acres of crown land in Manitoba to the province's Metis inhabitants as "Half Breed Scrip." The "fairness" of the process of distributing this scrip is the subject of Flanagan's work. Of greater interest to many readers is Flanagan's criticism of advocacy scholarship as it has emerged on the subject of half breed scrip in Manitoba.
