The Story of Scrip

However, many Manitobans are not familiar with this important history of the land they live on. Where did the Metis come from? What was Scrip? How was Scrip used as a tool of colonization? What role did Scrip play in the diaspora of the Metis Nation? William Benoit combs the threads of Manitoba’s history in his unique storytelling way.
