Métis Coming Together invites readers to witness the knowledge exchanges that occur in community. Diverse perspectives from Métis across the homeland help us convene a dynamic and generous thinking space to broaden our individual and collective understandings of Métis-ness. Topics addressed from a Métis lens include relationality, kinship, history, storytelling, language revitalization, poetry, futurities, sexuality, feminisms, geographies, religion and spirituality, self-determination, and sovereignty. The collection provides opportunities to learn contemporary Métis ways of knowing and being.

Looking Back and Living Forward: Indigenous Research Rising Up brings together research from a diverse group of scholars from a variety of disciplines. The work shared in this book is done by and with Indigenous peoples, from across Canada and around the world. Together, the collaborators’ voices resonate with urgency and insights towards resistance and resurgence. The various chapters address historical legacies, environmental concerns, community needs, wisdom teachings, legal issues, personal journeys, educational implications, and more. In these offerings, the contributors share the findings from their literature surveys, document analyses, community-based projects, self-studies, and work with knowledge keepers and elders. The scholarship draws on the teachings of the past, experiences of the present, and will undoubtedly inform research to come.
