Supervisor: Dr. Cheryl TroupeMy thesis aims to explore the role of Metis women in early Canadian commerce via the examination of material culture. In particular, I hope to investigate the role of Metis women's productive labour, with a focus on bead work, in what is now Canada during the Nineteenth Century. Through my research, I seek to shed light on the unique and impactful role of Metis women in trade through the lens of their interactions with material culture.
