WORD
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.".
