David Bouchard is a Canadian author and former high school principal. Bouchard was born and raised in Saskatchewan. He is a Member of the Order of Canada and a public school in Oshawa, Ontario is named after him. In his 2017 book, Proud to Be Métis, Bouchard writes that his grandfather had Ojibwa and Osage roots, but never spoke of them. This was not uncommon in that era, as many Canadians of Metis background grew up in families that did not speak about their Métis background. In a book interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Bouchard said, "We struggle with whether or not we have the right to reclaim that heritage, of if in fact because we weren't raised in that environment, we can even do that."Bouchard claims to be of Métis descent (more specifically, Ojibway, his Ojibway name is Zhiibaayaanakwad). This claim of descent is not recognized by the British Columbia Metis Nation.In 2008 Bouchard became a member of the Order of Canada.
