From "One Nation" in the Northeast to "New Nation" in the Northwest: A Look at the Emergence of the Metis.

Dickason, Olive Patricia

American Indian Culture and Research Journal, v6 n2 p1-21 1982

France sought to assimilate Amerindians by racial intermixing as an instrument of empire. In doing so, France unwittingly prepared the way for a phenomenon which it did not want and would have disapproved of thoroughly: the development among the Metis of the Canadian Northwest of a sense of a separate identity, the spirit of the "New Nation."
