Summary:This article asks how post-secondary education and scholarship can facilitate criticaland engaged reclamations of Metis knowledge through critical intellectual and expe­riential engagement. First, it explores dominant representations of Metis political andcultural experience in historical perspective, and considers these implications for Metisstudents and communities.
