History

This was due to their tendency and ability to identify more with the politically and economically dominant British culture of Canada at this time. Additionally, the Anglo-Métis / Countryborn are held to have led a somewhat more sedentary lifestyle of farming than the francophone Métis community. Historical research indicates that the French speaking Métis were somewhat more nomadic due to their strong reliance upon the bison as a trade and food resource. Regardless of cultural and linguistic ties to Anglo Canada the Countryborn played a role in both the Red River Rebellion (or "Red River Uprising") of 1869 and the Northwest Rebellion (or "Northwest Uprising") of 1885, suffering from the same racism and land problems as their francophone brethren.

Through "ethnogenesis" by the 19th century the Métis, both Anglophone and French were culturally quite similar.

Their musical traditions, especially in the case of fiddle music, hail from both British Isles and French origins, as does Métis traditional dance referred to as "jigging", or the "Red River Jig". In complexion they ranged from fair skinned, blonde and blue eyed through dark skinned, with dark hair and dark eyes. Métis elders say that no distinctions were made between individuals based upon complexion within the community. Family, culture, and strong identification with their Christian faith were the unifying bond amongst them. The two communities' primary differences lay in their language, and Christian religious affliation being either Protestant, or Roman Catholic . Protestantism refers to the forms of Christian faith and practice that originated in the 16th century Protestant Reformation. Most Countryborn were Anglican or Presbyterian.

The Countryborn were often known in the 19th century as "Mixed-Bloods", "Black Scots", "Native English", or "Halfbreeds" (a term now considered pejorative). The 19th century of the Common Era began on January 1, 1801 and ended on December 31, 1900, according to the Gregorian calendar The French Metis referred to them simply as "les métis anglais" or "les autres métis. " Thus, they gradually came to see themselves as little different from their French Métis brethren.


Today, the two groups are no longer politically distinct, and are commonly known on the Canadian Prairies simply as Métis. The Canadian Prairies is a region in western Canada, which may correspond to several different definitions natural or political
