Abstract
"Listening, questioning, discussing, observing ... communicating. This is how the story of Gabriel's Children grew from a good idea to the book.
With support and encouragement from the Saskatoon Metis Society, Local II and their president, Clarence Trotchie, Gabriel's Children took form.
The story of of the Metis people of the Round Prairie settlement at the turn of the century is a story of broken dreams and a future won through courage. It is a story of fun-loving, semi-nomadic people who loved the prairie land, but love life even more.
Author Rita Schilling has brought this story to life through extensive interviews with the now elderly representatives of the Metis settlers and the people of the present generation who have realized many of the hopes and dreams of their ancestors.
Rita Schilling is a Saskatchewan writer with an extensive background in radio, television and print journalism. Her on-going affiliation with the Metis and Indian culture has developed through many years of research and writing that reflects the particular concerns of this significant segment of the prairie population.
To read Gabriel's Children is to be taken into the past through memories communicated with clarity and retold in context with the recorded facts of yesterday and the social history of today."--Back cover.
