Anglo-Metis (1)

WORD

  • Home

The Anglo-Métis, also known as Countryborn, were a 19th-century community of Métis people in Canada. They were typically the children of fur traders, with Scots (often from Orkney or mainland Scotland) or English fathers and Indigenous mothers, such as Cree, Anishinaabekwe (often Saulteaux), and Nakoda, among others. They were also referred to as "English halfbreeds," a term that some Anglo-Métis still identify with today. Their first languages were usually those of their mothers—Cree, Saulteaux, Assiniboine, and others—alongside English. Some fathers spoke Gaelic or Scots, leading to the creation of a creole language called "Bungee." In recognition of the Anglo-Métis and the intricate history of the Métis people, some scholars have started spelling Métis as "Metis.".

Birch Hills is a town in Saskatchewan, Canada, situated southeast of Prince Albert and near the Muskoday First Nation reserve. To the west lies the village of St. Louis, while Kinistino is to the east. Although surrounded by Birch Hills Rural Municipality No. 460, the town is not part of it. The town derives its name from the surrounding hills, once densely forested with birch trees. These trees were historically significant for crafting birch bark canoes during the 18th-century fur trade era. The landscape around Birch Hills belongs to the aspen parkland biome. Birch Hills was settled predominantly by Norwegian, British, and Anglo-Metis communities. It became a village in 1907 and was designated a town in 1960. Unlike many agriculturally based towns, Birch Hills continues to grow, partly due to its role as a satellite community of Prince Albert. According to the 2021 Census by Statistics Canada, Birch Hills had a population of 1,066, an increase of 3.2% from its 2016 population of 1,033. The town covers a land area of 2.39 km² (0.92 sq mi), resulting in a population density of 446.0/km² (1,155.2/sq mi).Notable individuals from Birch Hills include Earl Thomson, who won a gold medal for Canada in the 110 meters hurdles at the 1920 Olympics; Marshall Johnston, an NHL player, scout, coach, and general manager, who currently serves as the Director of Professional Scouting for the Carolina Hurricanes; and John Richard Parish Taylor, a politician.
