Beskrivelse
Known as "Canada's forgotten people," the M tis have long been here, but until 1982 they lacked the legal status of Native people. At that point, however, the M tis were recognized in the constitution as one of Canada's Aboriginal peoples. A significant addition to M tis historiography, The Long Journey of a Forgotten People includes M tis voices and personal narratives that address the thorny and complicated issue of M tis identity from historical and contemporary perspectives. Topics include eastern Canadian M tis communities; British military personnel and their mixed-blood descendants; life as a M tis woman; and the M tis peoples ongoing struggle for recognition of their rights, including discussion of recent Supreme Court rulings.
