[Bio c. 2009]
Mike Evans (PhD McMaster 1996) taught at the University of Northern BC, the University of Alberta, and then joined UBC Okanagan. His primary research relationships are with people in the Métis community in Northern BC, the Métis Nation of BC, the Urban Aboriginal Community of the Okanagan Valley, and Tonga (in the South Pacific). Evans has been involved in several community based research initiatives, and in particular has a long-term relationship with the Prince George Métis Elders Society. Together with Elders and community leaders in Prince George he put together a number of publications including What it is to be a Métis (Evans et al 1999), A Brief History, of the Short Life, of the Island Cache (Evans et al 2004). Working with Stephen Foster and these same Elders has resulted in new media presentation offered here. As Research Director for the Métis Nation of BC, he served on the Métis National Council National Research Initiative, helped form the Research Agenda for the Métis Nation of BC, and has worked extensively with colleagues at the MNBC on a number of research projects over the last few years, including a number of web-based tools for governance and a recently completed and collaboratively produced DVD set entitled The Métis of British Columbia: Culture, History, and the Contemporary Community. He supervises graduate students working on urban aboriginal issues, and Métis history and communities across Western Canada. He is also a Co-Director of the Center for Social, Spatial, and Economic Justice at UBC Okanagan.
