Résumé
Belcourt traces his ancestry directly to a French-Canadian voyageur and his Cree-Métis wife who lived in Ruperts Land after 1800. The eldest of ten children, Belcourt grew up in a small log home near Lac Ste. Anne during the Depression.… When Belcourt left home at 15 to become a labourer in coal mines and sawmills, his father told him to save his money so he could work for himself, and over the next three decades, Belcourt began a number of small Alberta businesses that prospered and eventually enabled him to make significant contributions to the Métis community. 2006.
