Description
The Métis: A Visual History is a stunning and visually commanding resource covering over three hundred years of history and culture from the birth of the Métis Nation to our near past, a mere thirty years ago. Sherry Farrell Racette has blended her acumen as a historian and researcher with her skill as a visual artist to create four panels, each representing a different era of Métis history. Their value as a pivotal resource for history and art was recognized by a number of organizations each wanting to ensure that this important perspective on our history and culture is widely shared by generations to come. In this book, Sherry shares about the significance of the images expressed in these beautiful works of art.
The Métis: A Visual History now includes a 5th panel, Metis Rising! The Institute sought a new panel to represent the positive changes and significant milestones more recently achieved by the Métis as well as our cultural pride and our efforts to make positive and meaningful change for our families, communities, and nation. Metis Rising is the result. A booklet explaining the significance of each image of Metis Rising is also included in this resource.
