I have done research on Métis culture in Alberta for my MG novel and can't find any information on this specific topic.

I know that in some other First Nations cultures it is considered disrespectful for a child to look an adult in the eye but I am not sure about the Métis.

Thanks for any help,
Laura

I asked yesterday about two minutes after I posted the message above, but I haven't heard back yet. I'll let you know as soon as I know anything. :)

Oh, wait, I have a friend who I think might have worked as a schoolteacher in a Metis community. I'll ask her, too.
