Description

In Metis Pioneers, Doris Jeanne MacKinnon compares the survival strategies of two Metis women born during the fur trade—one from the French-speaking free trade tradition and one from the English-speaking Hudson’s Bay Company tradition—who settled in southern Alberta as the Canadian West transitioned to a sedentary agricultural and industrial economy.

MacKinnon provides rare insight into their lives, demonstrating the contributions Metis women made to the building of the Prairie West.

This is a compelling tale of two women’s acts of quiet resistance in the final days of the British Empire.
