Ask any Canadian what "M tis" means, and they will likely say "mixed race." Canadians consider M tis mixed in ways that other Indigenous people are not, and the census and courts have premised their recognition of M tis status on this race-based understanding. Andersen argues that Canada got it wrong. From its roots deep in the colonial past, the idea of M tis as mixed has slowly pervaded the Canadian consciousness until it settled in the realm of common sense. In the process, "M tis" has become a racial category rather than the identity of an Indigenous people with a shared sense of history and culture.
