This article asks how post-secondary education and scholarship can facilitate criticaland engaged reclamations of Metis knowledge through critical intellectual and experiential engagement. First, it explores dominant representations of Metis political andcultural experience in historical perspective, and considers these implications for Metisstudents and communities. This examination identifies a problem that we address byenvisioning models of engaged pedagogy, based on insights from author bell hooks,which draw upon on a particular stream of thought in Michel Foucault's later work.It concludes with a discussion of the possibilities of decolonizing representations ofMetis history and politics, through the exploration of relational land- and community-based pedagogies.
