Publisher Description: At a time when the M tis are becoming increasingly visible in Canadian politics, this timely book offers a practical guide for understanding who they are and the challenges they face on the path to self-government. It shows how the M tis are giving life to Louis Riel's vision of a self-governing M tis Nation through the ongoing application of principles of governance that emerged during the fur trade era. Drawing on the M tis language - Michif - Kelly Saunders and Janique Dubois demonstrate how the M tis have adapted their governance structures within the Canadian state context to meet the everyday needs of M tis citizens. |
