Abstract

This story is about my grandfather, Joseph Carriere. Our stories as Métis people shape us but often have gaps in knowledge and detailed information because of the fear and oppression put on our people. In this recounting on the land of my grandpa, I imagine how life was knowing that the past has informed the present.
