Top  Main Exhibits Our Proud Heritage Métis Activists, Writers and Political Leaders Adams, Howard, Images and Papers Howard Adams Image Collection
Howard Adams was one of the most important Aboriginal thinkers and activists
to emerge from the radical cauldron of the 1960s. Imbued with anger at
the centuries-old colonization of Canada’s Aboriginal population and
infused with the self-determining ideology of the American Indian Movement,
he developed Indigenous colonization theory for a Canadian context. To
date, his books are perhaps the most searing indictment of Canada’s failed
colonial policy towards its First Peoples. In his capacity as a Native Studies
professor and author, he instructed hundreds of Aboriginal people to be proud
of their heritage and history and provided them with the intellectual framework
to decolonize themselves. Howard Adams was also a self-identified “Halfbreed” patriot
and a Métis icon: he was the first Métis to obtain a PhD; and
he was, for a time, the President of the Métis Society of Saskatchewan
and the founder of the longest-running Métis-specific publication, New
Breed Magazine. Later in life he was a much beloved Native Studies
professor in GDI’s Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program.
In November 2005, the Gabriel Dumont Institute published Howard Adams’ posthumous
autobiography entitled HOWARD ADAMS: OTAPAWY! The Life of a Métis
Leader in His Own Words and in Those of His Contemporaries. Passionate and engaging, Howard
Adams: OTAPAWY! has been an immense contribution to our knowledge
of modern Métis political consciousness and activism. After the
book was published, Marge Adams, Howard’s widow, graciously donated dozens
of images of her late husband, friends and family to the Institute’s
archives. The photographs that are presented in this section are
a sampling of this donation.
