Jaime M’s Reviews > The North-West Is Our Mother: The Story of Louis Riel's People, the Métis Nation > Status Update

Had to pause it here while the author talked about Chartier and the gag over his mouth. It was a bit triggering for me tbh. Too close for any comfort or even empathy.

I’m just now on the Chapter about Métis Settlements which is where my dad currently lives. Jim Brady & Malcolm Norris - I remember reading books about them in my early 20’s purely out of interest (not because any educational curriculum suggested it).
Nationalist of the Métis Nation who began talking about anti-colonialism and were both highly educated.
Talks about the Métis diversity in this chapter.

I e read a lot of important books this year and I’m still on the double consumption of audio and visual experiences in soaking up stories, art and information.

If you’re Métis- you must read this book. If you think you’re Métis, you must read this book.

Last year, my dear friend was reading this book and I believe it was the last before he died. It was finally that he understood me as a Métis person.
