Description 1 online resource : illustrations, portraits Contents Being and becoming Metis -- The ties that bind -- Gracious womanhood -- With this economy we do wed -- Trader Delorme's family -- Queen of the jughandle -- Fenced in -- Many voices-one people Summary "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 fur trade 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."-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Issued also in print format Online resource; title from PDF version (Library and Archives Canada Electronic Collection, viewed August 24, 2020) Subject Smith, Marie Rose, 1861-1960.
