• Summary:Abstract: A holistic examination of Métis society, culture, and identity that extends from the contact period in North America to the present day is missing in available literature. Questions relating to identity remain a vexing condition of Métis culture. Resulting from this framework for identity are communities which exist outside contemporary definitions of Métis. A broad outline defining Métis as descendents of European and Amerindian families who wish to remain free of colonial control is more inclusive. The use of historical phenomenon as a description of Métis allows modern groups such as those whose territory exists in and around Jasper National Park, to retain an existence that expands contemporary definitions. The possible heritage opportunities at Jasper National Park may offer a beginning point of Métis control over their own history arid analysis through Internalist Archaeology. The "inevitable" conclusion may be that Métis is both a process and a classification of peoples.
