Non Fiction, Indigenous History
This book is a collection of stories about culture, history, and nationhood as told by Mtis women. The Mtis are known by many names Otipemisiwak, the people who own ourselves; Bois Brules, Burnt Wood; Apeetogosan, half brother by the Cree; half-breed, historically; and are also known as rebels and traitors to Canada. They are also known as the Forgotten People. Few really know their story.
Many people may also think that Mtis simply means mixed, but it does not. They are a people with a unique and proud history and Nation. In this era of reconciliation, Stories of Mtis Women explains the story of the Mtis Nation from a their own perspective. The UN has declared this The Decade of Indigenous Languages and Stories of Mtis Women is one of the few books available in English and Michif, which is an endangered language.
