THE INTERDISCIPLINARY INITIATIVE IN APPLIED INDIGENOUS SCHOLARSHIP PRESENTS:
Dr. Chris Andersen is an internationally regarded Indigenous Studies scholar. His books, articles and chapters have contributed to a rethinking of Canada’s past, particularly relating to understanding Métis as an Indigenous people rather than “mixed ancestry” derivatives of First Nations and
Inuit communities. Using a rare combination of statistical, archival and legal evidence, Andersen’s work is charting new directions in Canadian scholarship, ushering in a new era of Métis scholarship.
