Bibliography of Métis in the U.S.A.

What  books on Métis in the United States lack in numbers, they more than make up for in quality -- especially in the last 30 years.  A few of the books listed here are not U.S. specific, but they do address histories which were the same on both sides of what was later to become the Canada-U.S. border.

If you have some Caandian ancestry or ancestry that lived close to the northern U.S. border, I suggest you also check out the Canadian Metis Bilbliography.  Books you are interested in can be ordered from the Amazon Métis  Book Store on this site.  The 10% comission I get (Almost $20.00 U.S. in the last two years!!!) helps cover the increasing costs of maintaining The Other Métis.
