Metis otehpayimusuak and apihtawikosisanak Governance

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course offers students an overview of historical and contemporary Métis, otehpayimusuak and âpihtawikosisânak politics and governance. The use of these three names emphasizes the diversity of distinct, self-determining groups situated in Canada commonly referred to under the single term of ‘Métis.’ The term 'otehpayimusuak' is a Cree-language derived term for 'people who own themselves' and âpihtawikosisânak may be translated as “half-son” or “half-cousin.”
