Reweaving relations: Reclaiming métis identity through archaeology
Kisha SupernantReweaving relations: Reclaiming métis identity through archaeology
Dr Kisha Supernant discusses how the EMITA project grounds research in Métis values and prioritizes Indigenous Data Sovereignty. This initiative transforms archaeology into a vital tool for asserting Métis rights, identity, and future. Western archaeology has long erased Métis nationhood by mischaracterizing them as a “people in-between”. The Exploring Métis Identity Through Archaeology (EMITA) project disrupts this by grounding research in Métis values and prioritizing Indigenous Data Sovereignty. This initiative transforms archaeology into a powerful tool for asserting Métis rights, identity, and future.
