Indeed, in the very opening pages of my first book (Attention: LIVE LINK) "Dancing with Rejection: A Beginner's Guide to Immortality" there are very pointed references to my proud Metis heritage!

Later, towards the end of my second book (Again, the LIVE LINK) "A Work in Progress: The Life my Brother Saved" there is a lucid recollection of my eldest brother telling the story, that he heard from a cousin, of the G-G-G-G-G-G-Grandfather So-and-So Gaudet who hooked up with a Mi'kmaq woman, and the rest . is. history!

When you hear the recently taped "Lit Happens" segment (once it comes out) you will hear the host Danica Lorer refer to me as a "Proud Metis Man". Now that the oral history referred to above will be in the public domain, my claim to my proud Metis heritage is official.

Michael congratulations on your second book! Absolutely love your painting "Vision"! Hope you do more of these! My late husband Bill was Metis.
ReplyDeleteThank you my dear Cat. My brother Doug told us the complete, unabridged story of our family "Metis" connection the last time we were out East, and this story is featured in Book 2! So, it is now time to put the rumors to rest and to stand up as a proud Metis. Hey, pretty cool that Bill was also Metis. It's a small world!
