The Premier and His Grandmother
Peter Lougheed, Lady Belle, and the Legacy of Métis Identity
Doris Jeanne MacKinnon
This book examines two compelling public figures – former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed, and his Métis grandmother, Isabella Clarke Hardisty Lougheed, who was born into a prominent fur trading family and who was very influential in southern Alberta – analyzing how Métis identity, political activism, and colonial institutional power shaped the lives and legacies of both.
