Candi Zion: The Hi-Line Metis

Apr 13

Free

Candi Zion, author of “In Between People: The Metis of Central Montana” and “Walkin’ Down the Middle: The Hi-Line Metis” will discuss about this distinctive cultural group. Sometimes known as the children of the fur trade, Zion interviewed descendants of early Metis settlers in Montana about their families’ experiences of persecution in Canada and prejudice in the United States. They also talked to her about their devout Catholic faith; the tough living, strong work ethic, and secrecy that shaped their family cultures; and shared stories about education, rodeo, movie careers, and military service.
