Metis Nation
Morisset, Jean
N-1985-503 · · [1980]

This accession consists of a typed manuscript collected by Jean Morisset between the years 1974 and 1978. The manuscript represents the life story of Ted Trindell of Fort Simpson. The manuscript, entitled "Ni blanc - Ni Indien" (Neither White - Nor Indian) and compiled from letters, tapes and conversations was edited by Jean Morisset and Rose-Marie Pelletier and contains the words of Ted Trindell. This manuscript was later published in 1984 under the title "Ted Trindell: Metis Witness to the North".

Please note that the manuscript uses a derogatory term to refer to a person with mixed heritage and outdated terms to refer to Indigenous peoples. We have reproduced these terms in the digitized document because they are part of the original historical record.
