In Between and Walkin’ Down the Middle: The Metis of Montana

April 13,, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Lewis & Clark Library - Helena, MT
Free

Join Candi Zion, the author of “In Between People: The Metis of Central Montana” and “Walkin’ Down the Middle: The Hi-Line Metis,” to learn more about this distinctive cultural group, sometimes known as the children of the fur trade. Zion interviewed descendants of early Métis settlers in central Montana and the Hi-Line, who relayed stories about their families’ experiences of persecution in Canada and prejudice in the United States. They also talked about their devout Catholic faith; the tough living, strong work ethic, and secrecy that shaped their family cultures; and shared stories about education, rodeo, movie careers, and military service.
