Her community-based Master’s thesis, awana niyanaan/Who Are We?, is centered within Buffalo Lake Métis Settlement in Alberta to understand how attachments to Métis language and culture promote both self and group identity while challenging the more often stringent definitions of what constitutes ‘being’ Métis in legal, academic and social understandings. Angie has more recently been collecting oral stories about the everyday experiences of contemporary Métis women in Southwestern Manitoba to uncover how they and their families navigated and responded to the ever-changing social, political and economic pressures of 1940-1990. As a Métis Studies scholar, her areas of specialization include presenting and publishing on topics such as land, identity, representation, gender and sexuality, traditional adoption practices, community-based research practices, and the importance of visiting, memory and storytelling.
