An intriguing look at the connections between Alberta premier Peter Lougheed and his M?tis grandmother, Isabella Clark Hardisty Lougheed, exploring how M?tis identity, political activism, and colonial institutional power shaped the lives and legacies of both. Combining the approaches of political biography and historical narrative, The Premier and His Grandmother introduces readers to two compelling and complex public figures. Born into a prominent fur trading family, Isabella Clark Hardisty Lougheed (1861?1936) established a distinct role for herself as an influential M?tis woman in southern Alberta, at a time when racial boundaries in the province were hardening and M?tis activists established a firm foundation for the M?tis to be recognized as distinct Indigenous Peoples. Isabella’s grandson Edgar Peter Lougheed (1928?2021) served as premier of Alberta at a time when some of that activism achieved both successes and losses. Drawing on Peter Lougheed’s personal papers, family interviews, and archival research, this book analyzes his political initiatives in the context of his own identity as a person of M?tis ancestry. While there are several publications that refer to Peter Lougheed in the context of his role as premier, few of those publications have acknowledged his connection to an important M?tis pioneer family and his connection to his Indigenous ancestors.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
