Abstract: The author suggests that Metis life was characterized by matriorganization. Daughters were more likely than sons to remain in the West, marrying there and contributing to the rapid population growth of the Metis. She proposes that more detailed family histories could bring out important conclusions regarding the development of Metis society in the nineteenth century.
