Métis Resources at the AC Library

Posted on Thursday, June 11th, 2026

The AC Library offers a wide range of resources to support learning about Métis peoples in Canada. Métis people are one of the three distinct Indigenous Peoples recognized in Canada, alongside First Nations and Inuit. Métis people have a unique history, culture, traditions, language, and identity that are distinct from both First Nations and Inuit peoples.

Some recommended books include:

• The Break by Katherena Vermette
• I am a Metis : the story of Gerry St. Germain
• From the ashes : my story of being Métis, homeless, and finding my way
• Relatives with roots : a story about Métis women’s connection to the land = Lii Peraantii avik la Rasin : Eñ Nistwaar Taanishi lii Faam di Michif E’ishi Kisheyitakik li Tayraeñ
• Children like us : a Metis woman’s memoir of family, identity and walking herself home
• Rekindling the sacred fire : Métis ancestry and Anishinaabe spirituality

Additional Recommended Resources:

• The Maamwi Hub: Inspired by the TRC 94 Calls to Action to ensure that the 24 Colleges of Ontario lead in the education of staff and students on the diverse Indigenous histories, cultures, and current Indigenous worldviews. The word “Maamwi” means “together” in Anishinaabemowin, one of the many spoken Indigenous languages in the territory currently referred to as Ontario.
