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.

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 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.

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.

Distorted Descent examines a social phenomenon that has taken off in the twenty-first century: otherwise white, French descendant settlers in Canada shifting into a self-defined “Indigenous” identity. This study is not about individuals who have been dispossessed by colonial policies, or the multi-generational efforts to reconnect that occur in response. Rather, it is about white, French-descendant people discovering an Indigenous ancestor born 300 to 375 years ago through genealogy and using that ancestor as the sole basis for an eventual shift into an “Indigenous” identity today. After setting out the most common genealogical practices that facilitate race shifting, Leroux examines two of the most prominent self-identified “Indigenous” organizations currently operating in Quebec. Both organizations have their origins in committed opposition to Indigenous land and territorial negotiations, and both encourage the use of suspect genealogical practices. Distorted Descent brings to light to how these claims to an “Indigenous” identity are then used politically to oppose actual, living Indigenous peoples, exposing along the way the shifting politics of whiteness, white settler colonialism, and white supremacy.
