Rooster Town: The History of an Urban Métis Community, 1901–1961

by Evelyn PetersMatthew StockAdrian Werner

Rooster Town: The History of an Urban Métis Community, 1901–1961 (University of Manitoba Press, 2018) documents the story of a community rooted in kinship, culture, and historical circumstance, whose residents existed unofficially in the cracks of municipal bureaucracy, while navigating the legacy of settler colonialism and the demands of modernity and urbanization. The Rooster Town Online Archive shares the materials collected by the authors after exhaustive research in the provincial and city archives; after consultation of government documents, censuses, assessment rolls, voters’ lists, and Henderson’s Directories; and most importantly after interviews and conversations with descendants of Rooster Town residents.

The guide to using the archive was written by Matthew Stock.
