Brief description:
Laura Forsythe, PhD, has helped lift up Indigenous scholars' work for over a decade as co-editor of seven collections, co-founder of the Metis Thinkers Network, editor of the Canadian Journal of Indigenous Studies, and member of the circle of editors of Pawaatamihk: Journal of Metis Thinkers. Her kinship ties include the Huppe, Ward, Berard, Morin, Lavallee, and Cyr lines. Her ancestors worked for the Northwest and Hudson's Bay Companies, fought in the Victory of Frog Plain, and owned Lot 31, the site of a contemporary Métis space called Pakan Town.
Review Quotes: "Métis Methodologies is a master class in cutting-edge thought, fierce creativity, and intellectual sovereignty. It offers the reader an experience on how Métis knowledge keepers visit, sit at a kitchen table, and debate, and how a nation critically defines itself. Encyclopedic and exceptional in scope and research, this collection of Métis brilliance represents a turning point in the field and forges paths for future Métis thinkers."--Niigaan Sinclair, author of Wînipêk: Visions of Canada from an Indigenous Centre
