In Spirit Gifting: The Concept of Spiritual Exchange, Elmer Ghostkeeper offerspoignant insight into the ways that expanding capitalist modes of production have challenged the maintenanceof Métis traditional waysof knowing, living, and being. Ghostkeeper situates his upbringing as beingrooted in the maintenance ofsacred and cyclical relationships withhuman relations, withthe landas a relation,and within an ethics of kinship obligation to the land’s other, non-human, inhabitants. Similar discussions on Métis ways also appear in the stories of two other Métispeople–Victoria Belcourt Callihoo and Herb Belcourt. Like Ghostkeeper, Belcourt Callihoo and Belcourt offer personal accounts of the transitions that they and their respective Métis communities have undergone as a result of the changing human landscape in what is presently,and most widely referred to and known as,Alberta. This paper thus begins with its ownoffering. In order to reciprocate and honour the gifts that they each givethrough sharing their stories, I share a bit of my story as agift. I also do sotoprovide some insight intomy investments in undertaking such writing and research. After doing so, I turn to reflect onBelcourt Callihoo, Belcourt, and Ghostkeeper’s articulations of Métis ways asliving in a symbiotic relationship with the land. Then, with an emphasis on Belcourt and Ghostkeeper, I address the implications of the arrival of industrial capitalism to the authors’lives and the impacts of this on the maintenanceofwhat may be called their “Métis traditional knowledge” systems. Lastly, the paper argues that such stories should have greater influence in the political spectrumof Métis peoplehood and Métis political activism.
