Rooster Town, which was on the outskirts of southwest Winnipeg endured from 1901 to 1961. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThose years in Winnipeg were characterized by the twin pressures of depression, and inflation, chronic housing shortages, and a spotty social support network. At the city's edge, Rooster Town grew without city services as rural M騁is arrived to participate in the urban economy and build their own houses while keeping M騁is culture and community as a central part of their lives. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn other growing settler cities, the Indigenous experience was largely characterized by removal and confinement. But the continuing presence of M騁is living and working in the city, and the establishment of Rooster Town itself, made the Winnipeg experience unique. \u003cem\u003eRooster Town\u003c\/em\u003e documents the story of a community rooted in kinship, culture, and historical circumstance, whose residents existed unofficially in the cracks of municipal bureaucracy, while navigating the legacy of settler colonialism and the demands of modernity and urbanization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEVELYN PETERS\u003c\/b\u003e is an urban social geographer whose research has focused on First Nations and M騁is people in cities.
