From the Introduction

As an Albertan, a Métis person, and an elected representative of all Albertans, the relationship between Métis Albertans and the Government of Alberta has always been a source of pride for me. Albertans have shown the rest of Canada, and the world, what can be done when men and women, no matter what their backgrounds, work together toward the common objective of improving the quality of life of their fellow citizens. "The Alberta Métis Letters" is an important record of the history of Métis people in Alberta and will contribute to a greater understanding of the vibrant past, present and future relationship between Métis people and the Government of Alberta. The Hon. Pearl Calahasen, former Alberta Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development

 " ... very relevant not only to the Metis communities in Alberta, but to Canadianists and those interested in Aboriginal history and Aboriginal-state relations." Dr. Donna Patrick, Professor, School of Canadian Studies, Carleton University
