Cuthbert Grant: Leader of the Métis People

by Carole Lindstrom, Linus Woods (Illustrations)

Son of a Scottish trader and an Indigenous mother, Cuthbert Grant became a leader of the Métis—a distinct group of mixed European and Indigenous people who developed communities along fur trading routes in the 1800s. He saw his people through conflict and change and helped transition them to a new way of life in what is now Canada and the United States.

The illustrations are gorgeous, but the text got away from me a bit. Nonetheless, a biography of an interesting and influential person who helped to shape the Indigenous experience for the Métis people.

Interesting biography. I love the respect shown to the Métis People, but the layout of the book was disorganized and distracted from my enjoyment.
