The Legacy of Hope Foundation Presents – Roots & Hoots Episode 55: Featuring Dr. Allyson Stevenson (Ottawa, ON) – July 17, 2024 – On this week’s episode of Roots and Hoots, host Gordon Spence is joined by Métis scholar and historian, Dr. Allyson Stevenson. The two share an important conversation on Métis history and heritage. Allyson helps listeners understand the policies and politics that have led to Métis dispossession of land and the severing of kinship ties, while also highlighting stories of resistance along the way. This episode invites listeners on a journey to learn more about the contributions of Métis Peoples to the fibers of Canada. Allyson joins the interview from Treaty 6 Territory in Saskatoon. She is an Assistant Professor in Indigenous Studies and the Current Chairholder for the Gabriel Dumont Research Chair in Métis Studies. Allyson did not always have access to her Métis culture, but she grew up understanding the importance of cultural preservation. As she began uncovering her roots, this coincided with her pursuit of secondary education.
