Bob, and Lynn Noel, Many thanks for the information. I will look for the Ferland book.
Lynn, I will send you a scan of the music of La Métisse if you pm your email to me. I tried the website (yours?)- http://homepage..., but the links don't work, I get the message "we're sorry but we can't find the homepage ---." Or is there a mistake in the website you gave?
I think you have to join (free!) Mudcat to use the pm for messages.

And I wonder if the music to La Métisse in MacLeod's book is the same as that in the collection posted by Bob.

For a time we owned a river lot on the North Saskatchewan at what was the H. B. post called Victoria Settlement, later Pakan, now a historical site. On the river lot (pre-grid survey, 1/4 mile wide, 1 mile deep, at a slant to the river to give more frontage) was one of the original cabins built in the 1860's, (now restored- I hope correctly). Another dwelling from another lot with the same plan was moved to Edmonton. The factor's house is still on the provincial historical site, but they made serious mistakes when they restored it. The people at this site were mostly Scotch- Indian métis, or 'country' as many of them like to be called.
