The term "Anglo-Metis" is virtually meaningless in terms of the history of the Metis people in N. America, however, "Countryborn" is the common term for Metis of British European descent. I suggest that "Anglo-Metis" would be more properly merged under the heading "Countryborn" for reasons of academic accuracy. AJCS 136.159.208.26 00:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps English Metis would be a more correct term, as this is how Louis Riel chose to refer to them in his writings, albeit en francais. I think this term is more common in academic writing than "countryborn", which is somewhat parochial sounding and seldom used in academic writings. Examples of academics utilizing English Metis include Diane Payment, David Smyth and David Lee. Wyldkat 17 December 2006

[edit] Black Scots?

Is there a source for this term? I've done considerable reading on Metis history and have not come across it anywhere else. I doubt its validity, the anglo-metis peoples were commonly known as countryborn, native english, mixed bloods, halfbreeds, or by francophones as les metis anglais during the 19th century.

Regarding the term "Black Scots", the late Ruby Pocha-Adams (+1999) of Macdowell, Saskatchewan gave the information to this researcher in a personal inteview in 1999.Jc3schmi (talk) 19:57, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Interesting, thanks. - Wyldkat
