Métis -- Biography, Métis 

From his earliest contact with the Metis people, Grant MacEwan has felt the need to recognize their importance in shaping the history of the West. In Metis Makers of history, MacEwan tells the stories of eighteen exceptional Metis men and women, people like Cuthbert Grant, Pauline Johnson, Louis Riel, and Gabriel Dumont. Their accomplishments and their legends have been kept alive by their deeds. As well as acknowledging the contributions of the Metis people to this country's history, Metis Makers of history presents a clear view of that history through biography.--WorldCat.org.
