Mtis Rising

Mtis Rising draws on a remarkable cross-section of perspectives to tell the histories and stories of people from richly varied backgrounds, demonstrating that there is no single Mtis experience only a common sense of belonging and a commitment to justice. The contributors to this unique collection, most of whom are Mtis themselves, examine often-neglected aspects of Mtis existence. They talk about the arduous journey to rebuild the Mtis nation from a once-marginalized and defeated people; their accounts ranging from personal reflections on identity to tales of advocacy against poverty and poor housing, and for the recognition of Mtis rights. Mtis Rising is an extraordinary work that exemplifies how contemporary Mtis identity has been forged into a force to be reckoned with.
