An interesting biography, following all that we have recorded of the life of the prairie Metis leader. My copy, alas does not have an index, and I understand this was a feature of the 1975 edition. The bibliographical essay is relatively extensive and answers some needs. The endpaper map will do for the book as a whole. It is a reasonable contribution to the Canadian experience.
