In his book “A Fair Country” Saul argues that Canada is first and foremost a Metis nation, that it’s the roots are largely indigenous and as a result of the European arrival for the fur trade many Canadians are descended from those relationships between European men and indigenous women and subsequently so were descending generations. However, it is not only a Metis nation by blood relations, it also has a strong philosophy based on indigenous beliefs and culture and the close ties to the land from which all policies and thought in Canada are derived but most Canadians do not understand or realize it.
Saul is a respected writer, thinker and academic in Canada and he argues that colonialism interfered with the real roots of this country which are aboriginal.
