What it is to be a Métis
The Stories and Recollections of the Elders of the Prince George Métis Elders Society
(University of Northern British Columbia Press, 2007)
ARTS 366
Since the first printing of this volume, a number of the Elders who participated have passed on. This is inevitable of course, and it comes to us all, but it is bitter-sweet to reprint the volume now. The passing of these Elders is great loss for their families and the wider community. We are grateful that they gave us some of their stories here, and that others have chosen to honour the Elders by continuing to read, teach, and learn from what is recorded in this book. These are short stories drawn from long and complicated lives, and they are good stories to learn with. Merci and meegweetch again to the Elders and others who worked on this volume – thanks especially to Margo Yacheshyn, Pamela Fry, Lynda Williams and Antonia Mills who helped to get things in place to get the web-based edition up, and the second printing done!

UBC Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project
The University of British Columbia Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project aims to display academically inspiring artwork in classrooms and other teaching areas of the university.
Artwork displayed as part of this project – including the covers of books and journals containing work written or edited by UBCO scholars and researchers – is intended to help enliven university teaching spaces, educate classroom users about the connections between research and teaching, and introduce members of the broader public to some of the research and scholarship carried out at UBCO.
How to Submit Artwork
If you know of other book or journal covers, or other academically inspiring artwork that is connected to work carried out by UBCO artists, scholars or researchers and that is consistent with UBCO’s educational mission, please email your suggestions to classroom.artwork@ubc.ca.
The UBC Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project began in 2019 with support from the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences. It is now a joint project of UBCO’s Faculties and the Office of the Provost.
