Two case studies examine Metis efforts to secure a permanent home in the borderlands at a moment when national claims to the region became more clearly defined. The first describes the attempts by Metis families to remain on the new Fort Belknap Indian reservation, in north-central Montana. The second explores how their Metis kin sought a place at concurrent treaty negotiations between the Canadian government and Prairie First Nations. In both instances, state efforts to assign ethnic and racial labels and to assign rights based on these distinctions made it imperative that the Metis seek state sanction for their place in the borderlands.
