Bois-Brûlés

The Untold Story of the Métis of Western Québec

By: Michel Bouchard,Sébastien Malette,Guillaume Marcotte

We think of Métis as having exclusively Prairie roots. Quebec doesn’t recognize a historical Métis community, and the Métis National Council contests the existence of any Métis east of Ontario. Quebec residents who seek recognition as Métis under the Canadian Constitution therefore face an uphill legal and political battle. Who is right? Bois-Brûlés examines archival and ethnographic evidence to piece together a riveting history of Métis in the Outaouais region. Scottish and French-Canadian fur traders and Indigenous women established themselves with their Bois-Brûlé children in the unsurveyed lands of western Quebec in the early nineteenth century. As the fur trade declined, these communities remained. This controversial work, previously available only in French, challenges head-on two powerful nationalisms – Métis and Québécois – that see Quebec Métis as “race-shifting” individuals. The authors provide a nuanced analysis of the historical basis for a distinctly Métis identity that can be traced all the way to today.

Bien sûr que je voulais faire du cinéma. Je n’entendais pas rester stagiaire. J’avais un plan. J’allais inopinément apparaître dans la nudité de mon être exceptionnel. J’allais me faire repérer. Ainsi, quand la cinéaste arriverait, je me lèverais, elle tournerait la tête vers moi, marquerait un temps d’arrêt (stupeur oblige), je ferais semblant de ne rien noter, exagérant mon naturel, elle me regarderait comme on contemple un phénomène, m’imaginerait instantanément dans son cadre et, sans plus de détour, me proposerait un rôle.
