Michif Man
New!
From: Buffalo is the New Buffalo
$2.90
Set in the mid-twentieth century, this is a story about a Métis superhero, Franky Callihoo, who is gored by a radioactive bison and granted super strength. However, he is also plagued by The Distortion, which causes everyone except those related to him by blood to immediately forget about him. Years later, in the twenty-first century, Indigenous scholars push back against the notion that Michif Man was simply a folk myth and present evidence that Franky Callihoo actually existed and served his community in a variety of ways.
The chapter includes an “exploration” section at the end providing further context and insight into the Métis culture and history which it is inspired by.
