Ask any Canadian what oMUtiso means, and they will likely say omixed race.o Canadians consider MUtis mixed in ways that other Indigenous people are not, and the census and courts have premised their recognition of MUtis status on this race-based understanding. Andersen argues that Canada got it wrong. From its roots deep in the colonial past, the idea of MUtis as mixed has slowly pervaded the Canadian consciousness until it settled in the realm of common sense. In the process, oMUtiso has become a racial category rather than the identity of an Indigenous people with a shared sense of history and culture.
