Description
A new, fully restored edition of the essential Canadian classic.
An unflinchingly honest memoir of her experience as a Métis woman in Canada, Maria Campbell's Halfbreed depicts the realities that she endured and, above all, overcame. Maria was born in Northern Saskatchewan, her father the grandson of a Scottish businessman and Métis woman - a niece of Gabriel Dumont whose family fought alongside Riel and Dumont in the 1885 Rebellion; her mother the daughter of a Cree woman and French-American man. This extraordinary account, originally published in 1973, bravely explores the poverty, oppression, alcoholism, addiction, and tragedy Maria endured throughout her childhood and into her early adult life, underscored by living in the margins of a country pervaded by hatred, discrimination, and mistrust. Laced with spare moments of love and joy, this is a memoir of family ties and finding an identity in a heritage that is neither wholly Indigenous or Anglo; of strength and resilience; of indomitable spirit.
This edition of Halfbreed includes a new introduction written by Indigenous (Métis) scholar Dr. Kim Anderson detailing the extraordinary work that Maria has been doing since its original publication 46 years ago, and an afterword by the author looking at what has changed, and also what has not, for Indigenous people in Canada today. Restored are the recently discovered missing pages from the original text of this groundbreaking and significant work.

Within 40 years they were famous throughout North America for their military skills, their nomadic life and their buffalo hunts.

Two young sisters are taken from their home and family. Powerless to change their fortunes, they are separated, and each put into different foster homes. Yet over the years, the bond between them grows. As they each make their way in a society that is, at times, indifferent, hostile, and violent, one embraces her Métis identity, while the other tries to leave it behind. In the end, out of tragedy, comes an unexpected legacy of triumph and reclamation.

Few people can justify a memoir at the age of 33. Gregory Scofield is the exception, a young man who has inhabited several lives in the time most of us can manage only one. Born into a Métis family of Cree, Scottish, English, and French descent but never told of his heritage, Gregory knew he was different. His father disappeared after he was born, and at five he was separated from his mother and sent to live with strangers and extended family. There, began a childhood marked by constant loss, poverty, violence, and self-hatred.

Helen Knott, a highly accomplished Indigenous woman, seems to have it all. But in her memoir, she offers a different perspective. In My Own Moccasins is an unflinching account of addiction, intergenerational trauma, and the wounds brought on by sexual violence. It is also the story of sisterhood, the power of ceremony, the love of family, and the possibility of redemption.

Red River Girl is a gripping account of that murder investigation and the unusual police detective who pursued the killer with every legal means at his disposal. The audiobook, like the movie Spotlight, chronicles the behind-the-scenes stages of a lengthy and meticulously planned investigation. It reveals characters and social tensions that bring vivid life to a story that made national headlines.

steadfastly pursuing callings of justice
Maria Campbell’s autobiographical work, Half Breed, first published in 1973, is a provocative and brutal account of a young Metis woman’s struggle with degradation, oppression, and sorrow, as she journeys from her childhood in Northwestern Saskatchewan towards Western Canada. The story begins situated in a historic context where her community is threatened by the arrival of white settlers. Disenfranchised and displaced, her community and family, at the hands of state forces, are swiftly destructed through the appropriation of children, apprehension of parents, the prohibition of language, and prohibition of traditional hunting. As her community and family become desperately impoverished and increasingly disempowered through state violence, Campbell demonstrates how Indigenous Peoples are constructed as inferior in the settler colonialist narrative, which is internalized by Indigenous peoples as shame and impacts Indigenous capacity and potential. Most importantly, she candidly uses her story to portray exactly how settler colonialism relies upon this construction of inferiority to maintain a hegemonic and paternalistic relationship between Indigenous Peoples and government. As the story progresses, Campbell uses her life trajectory of displacement, single motherhood, substance use, sexual abuse, poverty, and sex work to highlight historic problems of urban struggles faced by Indigenous women within Canada. In a story of fortitude and survival, Campbell transforms years of internalized shame, rage and oppression to criticize political systems which disproportionality impact Indigenous women.
Long-standing systemic racism and colonial violence are the main themes in the works of Campbell. Interestingly, the original edition of Halfbreed was edited to exclude important documentation of dark experiences of Campbell’s life. In May 2018, researchers at Simon Fraser University discovered pages revealing how Campbell was raped at the age of fourteen by members of the RCMP. The newly restored edition of Halfbreed includes these striking, searing, perspective-shifting stories of survival which document the critical history of police brutality, an issue that is so critical in today’s political arena. These omissions draw attention to the injustices faced by Indigenous Peoples at the hands of state forces. It goes without saying that the very act of omission is exemplary of the historic avoidance of accountability, and of tarnishing the exceptional narrative of freedom and democracy.
By exposing racist state actions, the author creates a comprehensive picture of entrenched, systemic inequality which has impacted and disrupted the lives of Indigenous Peoples and continues to impact BIPOC Peoples within Canada. Halfbreed is a vehicle of activism, steadfastly pursuing callings of justice, with clarity and grace, and without sacrificing emotional resonance.

Maria Campbell's life story narrated by herself is spoken almost in a single breath. At first this bothered me. However this captures the urgency and raw detail of the hardships she endured.

Important
Maria is a story teller and a survivor. She poetically weaves her tale which is one of absolute beauty and gut-wrenching pain and struggle. She vividly explains the struggle she felt growing up in a world that would not allow her to thrive. Through her story telling, she explains how colonization, the state, racism, discrimination, trauma, and internalized and externalized disempowerment held her back. She also shows an incredible, powerful, resilience and desire to continue even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. I laughed, I cried, I got angry. Read this book.

Listening to Maria narrate her book was so meaningful. As a white woman I can hardly imagine where her grace comes from as she mentors us all to do better now that we know better. I'm looking forward to discussing the book later this month with my book club, and Maria's cousin being with us.

Maria is “life experience on the prairies”
I love the honesty and nuances that are laced in her story telling. Half breed remarks at the life that is a young Métis woman who experiences colonialism throughout the expansion and growth of a young country and province. They manner in which she weaves her knowledge is felt through this medium and her emphasis and context are heard with the telling of her journey. This book is amazing and this audio reading from her is even better. It’s like nohkum (my grandmother) is telling me of her life as I sit there and absorb her voice.
