Métis Methodologies

Foregrounded by Métis epistemologies, ontologies, and axiologies, Métis Methodologies provides transformative frameworks for Métis research. An enriching and inviting collection, Métis Methodologies clarifies what makes Métis research methods distinct. Insightful and frank reflections on wide-ranging research applications guide readers toward rich research paradigms for ethical and relational scholarship on Métis life, kin, history, and homelands. Positioned in the context of decolonial research, this collection argues that research undertaken by Métis scholars can and should reflect specific Métis experiences of colonization. This collection represents a groundbreaking contribution to Métis research methodologies. It offers a framework for conducting research in Métis contexts and serves as an accessible entry point for those interested in learning about Métis epistemology, ontology, and axiology. In response to a community request, this collection showcases Métis ways of knowing, being, and doing in research. Through grounded examples in research projects on Michif language revitalization, land-based pedagogy, health research, digital storytelling, and literary criticism, readers will learn specific techniques for research in this important contribution to decolonial knowledge production and research methodologies.
