Heirs of an Ambivalent Empire: French-Indigenous Relations and the Rise of the Métis in the Hudson Bay Watershed (McGill-Queen's Studies in Early Canada / Avant le Canada)

Heirs of an Ambivalent Empire explores the lives of ordinary Canadiens who used kinship ties to navigate the space between sovereign Indigenous homelands and the French colonial government in the Hudson Bay watershed from the early 1660s to the 1780s - leading to the emergence of a new Indigenous culture, language, people, and nation: the Métis.
