Caitlin McCarthy was inspired to write A NATIVE LAND because she is of Métis descent through her Huron/Abenaki/French Canadian ancestry. (Fun fact: Her 8th great grandparents had the first recorded marriage between a Native person and a French person in Canada.) As an American, Caitlin is a member of the Métis Federation of Canada; and she holds a Certificate of Aboriginal Status card through the Ontario Métis Family Records Center (OMFRC).
