A new, fully restored edition of the essential Canadian classic.

An unflinchingly honest memoir of her experience as a M tis 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 M tis 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 indominatable spirit.

This edition of Halfbreed includes a new introduction written by Indigenous (M tis) 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.

They are very nice.
I was pleasantly suprized at how they look. They are very pretty. If I bought them in a nice store I'm positive they would have cost me at least double. One of my Granddaughters who is 14 going on 20 recently got her ears pierced. These will be a perfect size for her, with an added touch of class that only a cool Grandma can give.

Beautiful earrings that work fantastically with multiple earlobe piercings
I was looking for smaller cute studs in garnet and these are amazing. I have four “regular” piercings going up my earlobes on each side into my cartilage so I prefer to have stud earrings that are small enough to not overlap and crowd, but also be super cute, and these did really well. Despite the size you could still clearly tell they were butterflies and marquise cut gemstones. Because they’re garnets and the marquise cut is slightly shallow for earring purposes, they’re not that DEEP red color people associate with a garnet, but they’re clearly garnets and the slightly brownish tinge from the shallower cuts actually set off my (dyed) red hair beautifully. If you’re more to chestnut brown or redheaded, it’ll probably work in your favor as well. Overall I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a good pair of beautiful and playful gemstone earrings, and heavily recommend them for any adult with more than two lobe piercings that wants to do more than just plain gemstone round studs.
