Founding of the Métis Protection Societies, 1870–1908
This chapter traces the development of métis “protection” programs in relation to the formation of the colonial state. The métis protection system developed out of a sense of urgency to stem the supposed debauched influences of indigenous society and indigenous mother, and to prevent the development of a disaffected class of métis who would potentially grow to resent the colonial state.
