Abstract
The discussions that surround Métis identity are full of great complexities and conundrums as one begins to look at the diversity within the Métis population. These complexities can not only be understood on a macro societal scale, but also on a micro individual scale. In order to explore the nuances of Métis ways of knowing, this thesis specifically focuses on the personal narratives of four Métis individuals in order to find connections to, and evidence of Métis ways of knowing. Alongside the stories of the participants, I lace my own reflections and stories and create a narrative that ignites, reaffirms, and celebrates the Métis spirit.
