A People on the Move by Irene Ternier Gordon
The blossoming of M'tis society and culture in the 19th century marked a fascinating and colourful era in western Canadian history. Drawing from journals and contemporary sources, Irene Ternier Gordon presents a vivid account of M'tis life in the area that is now Saskatchewan and Alberta. Here are the stories of the masters of the plains--M'tis buffalo hunters, traders and entrepreneurs like Louis Goulet, Norbert Welsh and the legendary Gabriel Dumont. Many enjoyed lives of freedom and adventure, yet also faced heartbreak as their way of life came to an end. From the delightful details of marriage customs, feasts and fancy clothing to the sad consequences of the events of 1885, this book is a vivid chronicle of M'tis life.| SKU | Unavailable |
