Rekindling the Sacred Fire: Métis Ancestry and Anishinaabe Spirituality
Why don’t more Métis people go to traditional ceremonies? How does going to ceremonies impact Métis identity? Eighteen people with Métis ancestry who participate in Anishinaabe ceremonies, share stories about family history, self-identification, and relationship with Aboriginal and Eurocanadian cultures and spiritualities.
In Rekindling the Sacred Fire, Chantal Fiola investigates the relationship between Red River Métis ancestry, Anishinaabe spirituality, and identity, bringing into focus the ongoing historical impacts of colonization upon Métis relationships with spirituality on the Canadian prairies. Using a methodology rooted in an Indigenous world view, Fiola interviews eighteen people with Métis ancestry, or an historic familial connection to the Red River Métis, who participate in Anishinaabe ceremonies, sharing stories about family history, self-identification, and their relationships with Aboriginal and Eurocanadian cultures and spiritualities.
