David Bouchard
David Bouchard is a Canadian author and former high school principal. Bouchard was born and raised in Saskatchewan. He is a Member of the Order of Canada and a public school in Oshawa, Ontario is named after him. In his 2017 book, ''Proud to Be Métis'', Bouchard writes that his grandfather had Ojibwa and Osage Nation, Osage roots, but never spoke of them. This was not uncommon in that era, as many Canadians of Metis background grew up in families that did not speak about their Métis background. In a book interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Bouchard said, "We struggle with whether or not we have the right to reclaim that heritage, of if in fact because we weren't raised in that environment, we can even do that." Bouchard claims is of Métis descent but has not been accepted by the Metis Nation who has rejected his claimsBouchard, David (2006). ''Nokum Is My Teacher'', Postface.

Canadian Children's Writers
Canadians (french: Canadiens) are people identified with the country of Canada. This connection may be residential, legal, historical or cultural. For most Canadians, many (or all) of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their being ''Canadian''. Canada is a multilingual and multicultural society home to people of groups of many different ethnic, religious, and national origins, with the majority of the population made up of Old World immigrants and their descendants. Following the initial period of French and then the much larger British colonization, different waves (or peaks) of immigration and settlement of non-indigenous peoples took place over the course of nearly two centuries and continue today. Elements of Indigenous, French, British, and more recent immigrant customs, languages, and religions have combined to form the culture of Canada, and thus a Canadian identity. Canada has also been strongly influenced by its linguistic, geographic, and e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

International Examiner
The ''International Examiner'' is a free biweekly Asian American newspaper based in Seattle, Washington's International District.
