“Canadian History a Distinct Viewpoint” is the website of Dick Garneau.  Dick is a researcher of both written and oral history of the Metis peoples, with emphasis on the genealogical roots of the Metis Garneau clan.  Dick has been researching his family history and the history of the Metis peoples for the past 60 years.  The bulk of this historical research appears on his website.  While the material was originally intended as a book, Dick decided instead to make the information available on the internet for free with the goal of supporting the education of young people to a different view of history,

The website includes written histories of many of the peoples of Canada including the Indigenous peoples, Europeans, and Asians.  Histories are provided for many regions of Canada including New France, Central Canada, Alberta, and British Columbia.  Information is also provided on the genealogies of many Metis families.  While the provided information is quite text heavy, it is easy to read and navigate.  This resource is recommended for anyone who wishes to explore the history of Canada from a Metis perspective.
