Caption

A French Métis, Canada, 19th century. A Métis is a person born to parents who belong to different groups defined by visible physical differences, regarded as racial. In Canada, the term usually designates a constitutionally recognized individual born of an Aboriginal group descended primarily from the marriages of Scottish and French men to Cree, Saulteaux, and Ojibway women in southern Rupert's Land starting in the late 17th century, and the marriages of French women to Ojibway men starting in Quebec in the middle 17th century.
