Martin Prevost or Provost arrived in Quebec before 1639. He was settler and farmed near Beauport, Quebec. He married on 3 November 1644 at Quebec. Marie-Olivier, was the daughter of Roch Manithabewich, a Huron (or maybe an Algonquin) Indian, and adopted daughter of Olivier Letardif. Together they had eight children whose descendants continue to the 21st century. Martin Prevost remained in Quebec. His wife Marie-Olivier died on 10 September 1665 when her youngest child was only 3 months old. He married Marie d'Abancourt two months later. They had no known children. Marie d'Abancourt was the widow of Jean Jolliet and widow of Godfroy Guillot dit Lavallee. She died between 1678 and 1681. Martin remained unmarried until his death in 1691 at Beauport (Quebec). His surviving children and grandchildren were all living near Beauport. They were farmers, laborers and merchants and appear to have assimilated into the non-Indian culture. In the seventh generation the Prevost descendants are living in the Oregon Territory, Alberta, and Manitoba and have once again married mixed blood wives. Notable descendents of Roch Manitouabeouich, father-in-law of Martin Prevost are Jean Baptiste Lepine, Stephen Liberty, Louis Provo, Joseph Salois, and Joseph St.Germain.

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.

In recent years there has been growing interest in identifying the social and cultural attributes that define the Metis as a distinct people. In this groundbreaking study, Brenda Macdougall employs the concept of wahkootowin � the Cree term for a worldview that privileges family and values interconnectedness � to trace the emergence of a Metis community in northern Saskatchewan. Wahkootowin describes how relationships worked and helps to explain how the Metis negotiated with local economic and religious institutions while nurturing a society that emphasized family obligation and responsibility. This innovative exploration of the birth of Metis identity offers a model for future research and discussion.

The majority of the descendants stayed in the Michigan area.

Madeline Gauthier dit Verville is also the great granddaughter of Daniel-Joseph Amiot dit Villeneuve and Marie Domitilde Kapiouapnokoue or Oukabe.

In Eastern Métis, Michel Bouchard, Sébastien Malette, and Siomonn Pulla demonstrate the historical and social evidence for the origins and continued existence of Métis communities across Ontario, Quebec, and the Canadian Maritimes as well as the West. Contributors to this edited collection explore archival and historical records that challenge narratives which exclude the possibility of Métis communities and identities in central and eastern Canada. Taking a continental rhizomatic approach, this book provides a rich and nuanced view of what it means to be Métis.

In this time of ecological crisis, all that is holy calls us into a more intimate partnership with the diverse and beautiful beings of this earth. In Finding Our Way Home, Myke Johnson reflects on her personal journey into such a partnership and offers a guide for others to begin this path. Lyrically expressed, it weaves together lessons from a chamomile flower, a small bird, a copper beech tree, a garden slug, and a forest fern, along with insights from Indigenous philosophy, environmental science, fractal geometry, childhood Catholic mysticism, the prophet Elijah, fairy tales, and permaculture design. This eco-spiritual journey also wrestles with the history of our society's destruction of the natural world, and its roots in the original theft of the land from Indigenous peoples. Exploring the spiritual dimensions of our brokenness, it offers tools to create healing. Finding Our Way Home is a ceremony to remember our essential unity with all of life.

Pierre Couc dit Lafleur, the head of a fur trade and merchant family, was a soldier when he arrived in Quebec. Pierre was about age 30 when he married Marie Mitequamigoukoue in 1657 and began his Métis Family in the Yamaska region of Quebec. They had at least seven children. Two of those children, Louis and Elisabeth, took the surname Montour. Notable descendants of Pierre Couc are Andre Longtain (b. 1794-d. 1879) who married Nancy Okanogan; Jean Baptiste Boyer (b. 1801-d. 1882) who married first Lizette Mainville and second to Elise Allard; and Nicholas Montour (b. c1756-d. 18) who married Genevieve Wills and also had children with an unidentified Indian woman or Indian women.
