English Summary/英文概要： A new, fully restored edition of the essential Canadian classic.
An unflinchingly honest memoir of her experience as a Métis woman in Canada, Maria Campbell’s Halfbreed depicts the realities that she endured and, above all, overcame. Maria was born in Northern Saskatchewan, her father the grandson of a Scottish businessman and Métis woman--a niece of Gabriel Dumont whose family fought alongside Riel and Dumont in the 1885 Rebellion; her mother the daughter of a Cree woman and French-American man. This extraordinary account, originally published in 1973, bravely explores the poverty, oppression, alcoholism, addiction, and tragedy Maria endured throughout her childhood and into her early adult life, underscored by living in the margins of a country pervaded by hatred, discrimination, and mistrust. Laced with spare moments of love and joy, this is a memoir of family ties and finding an identity in a heritage that is neither wholly Indigenous or Anglo; of strength and resilience; of indominatable spirit.
This edition of Halfbreed includes a new introduction written by Indigenous (Métis) scholar Dr. Kim Anderson detailing the extraordinary work that Maria has been doing since its original publication 46 years ago, and an afterword by the author looking at what has changed, and also what has not, for Indigenous people in Canada today. Restored are the recently discovered missing pages from the original text of this groundbreaking and significant work.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 我写这封信是为了告诉你们，在我们国家，混血儿是什么感觉。我想告诉你快乐和悲伤，压迫和贫穷，挫折和梦想…我不苦。我已经通过了那个阶段。我只想说:这就是它曾经的样子，这就是它现在的样子。
对加拿大梅蒂斯人（意为“混血儿”)玛丽亚??坎贝尔来说，贫穷、痛苦和堕落的残酷现实早早地侵入她的生活，并伴随着她的每一步。她的故事是残酷的，但没有辛酸和自怜。故事发生在1940年的萨斯喀彻温省北部，故事跨越加拿大西部，玛利亚在那里流浪，过着没有根的生活，日复一日的工作，吸毒，酗酒。她的路总是在医院的门和监狱的围墙附近迷失。
她的曾祖母奇契姆不屈不挠的精神支撑着玛丽亚??坎贝尔度过了她最绝望的时期。奇契姆顽强的尊严最终让作者为她的梅蒂斯血统感到骄傲，奇契姆的形象激励着她追求自己的生命和尊严以及目标。（WYL）
