Histoire(s) et vérité(s): récits autochtones
Par Thomas King. 2015
L'auteur explore comment les histoires et les contes façonnent nos perceptions. À travers la littérature et l'histoire, la religion et…
la politique, la culture populaire et la contestation sociale, King propose une réflexion inédite sur notre relation envers les peuples autochtones. L'Indien réel, affirme l'auteur, ne ressemble guère à la figure du sauvage, tirée des représentations entretenues par les Blancs nord-américains. Avec un esprit critique bien aiguisé, Thomas King démontre que les histoires sont la clé et, sans doute, le seul espoir pour se comprendre. Il nous oblige à les écouter... pour mieux appréhender les réalités de notre monde. 2015.One dead Indian: the premier, the police, and the Ipperwash crisis

Par Lee Maracle. 2017
On her first book tour at the age of 26, Lee Maracle was asked a question from the audience, one…
she couldn't possibly answer at that moment. But she has been thinking about it ever since. As time has passed, she has been asked countless similar questions, all of them too big to answer, but not too large to contemplate. These questions, which touch upon subjects such as citizenship, segregation, labour, law, prejudice and reconciliation (to name a few), are the heart of "My Conversations with Canadians". In prose essays that are both conversational and direct, Maracle seeks not to provide any answers to these questions she has lived with for so long. Rather, she thinks through each one using a multitude of experiences she's had as a Canadian, a First Nations leader, a woman and mother and grandmother over the course of her life. Presents a tour de force exploration into the writer's own history and a re-imagining of the future of our nation. Bestseller. 2017. Uniform title: Essays.Follows the story of a famous Ojibwe medicine man, his gifted grandson, and remarkable water drum. This drum, and forty…
other artefacts, were given away by a Canadian museum to an American Anishinaabe group that had no family or community connections to the collection. Many years passed before the drum was returned to the family. Matthews takes us through this astonishing set of events from multiple perspectives, exploring community and museum viewpoints, visiting the ceremonial group leader in Wisconsin, and finally looking back from the point of view of the drum. The book contains a powerful Anishinaabe interpretive perspective on repatriation and on anthropology itself. Winner of the 2017 Alexander Kennedy Isbister Award for Non-fiction. 2016.Mingan my village

Par Gary Geddes. 2017

Par Drew Hayden Taylor, Zacharias Kunuk. 2015
While First Nations cultural practice still honours traditional forms, contemporary indigenous artists have diversified into many areas. The fourteen contributors…
whose essays make up "Me Artsy" pursue such varied disciplines as filmmaking, gourmet cuisine, blues piano, fashion design, acting, writing and painting as well as traditional drumming and storytelling. Their concerns include the ones that occupy artists everywhere—how does one get started, where do you find inspiration, how does one make a living. What makes "Me Artsy" special is that all these concerns are always overlaid with an awareness of First Nations identity. 2015.Les autochtones et le Québec: des premiers contacts au Plan Nord (PUM)

du développement économique, politique et culturel du territoire aujourd’hui nommé Québec.

Par Serge Bouchard. 2016
Connaissez-vous Massassoit, le vieux sage de la nation wampanoag, Jean-Baptiste Faribault et Jean Baptiste Eugène Laframboise, ces aventuriers canadiens-français qui…
ont bâti l'Ouest américain, ou l'oncle Yvan, revenu de la guerre alors que plus personne ne l'attendait, ou la tante Monique de Santa Monica ? Saviez-vous qu'une vieille Honda était douée de la parole, qu'une grande tortue sacrée vivait sur le boulevard Pie-IX, qu'un camion des années 1950 avait des yeux, et que ces yeux pouvaient parfois être tristes ? Voilà quelques-unes des merveilles que l'on découvre ici, ainsi que mille autres, grandioses ou infimes, lointaines ou familières, cachées dans le passé que nous avons oublié, chez les humbles que nous n'écoutons plus, ou bien là, tout près, dans la nature qui nous entoure comme dans la ville que nous habitons, mais que notre modernité trépidante et notre obsession de la vitesse et de l'efficacité nous empêchent de saisir. Car pour les saisir, écrit Serge Bouchard, l'humain doit avoir les yeux ouverts , c'est-à-dire des sens, un coeur, une intelligence et une mémoire capables de reconnaître la beauté secrète des choses, les joies et les souffrances quotidiennes qu'apporte à chacun, et particulièrement aux humiliés de ce monde, le simple fait de vivre, d'aimer, de vieillir. 2016.Le grand retour: le réveil autochtone
Par John Ralston Saul, Daniel Poliquin. 2015
Fruit dune vaste recherche, "Le Grand Retour" présente un étonnant portrait de la réalité autochtone, bien loin du pessimisme et…
du misérabilisme habituellement véhiculés par les médias et le discours politique.

Titre uniforme: The comeback.L'Indien malcommode: un portrait inattendu des Autochtones d'Amérique du Nord
Par Thomas King, Daniel Poliquin. 2014
« L'Indien malcommode » est à la fois un ouvrage d'histoire et une subversion de l'histoire officielle. En somme, c'est…
le résultat de la réflexion personnelle et critique que Thomas King a menée depuis un demi-siècle sur ce que cela signifie d'être Indien aujourd'hui en Amérique du Nord. Dans ce franc-parler qui ne peut appartenir qu'à un Indien, King démonte avec beaucoup d'esprit les idées reçues touchant les peuples autochtones. Ce livre n'est pas tant une condamnation du comportement des un ou des autres qu'une analyse suprêmement intelligente des liens complexes qu'entretiennent les Blancs et les Indiens. 2014.

Par Alexandra Shimo, Paulette Vanier. 2017

endroit où tous sont poussés à bout.

Titre uniforme: Invisible North.Following the river: traces of Red River women
Par Lorri Neilsen Glenn. 2017
Glenn first discovered her great-grandmother's tragic death in a passing comment from an aunt. Startled, she began to search out…
the history of her family, to understand the life of this woman she knew nothing about. Along the way Glenn works to unravel the issues of racism, sexism and colonial nation building that haunt us still. In elegant prose and poetry she has created a story of pieces, bringing to life what she could find in newspaper reports and museums. Through these fragments and portraits she gives the reader a glimpse of the lives lived by her ancestors and by women like them. 'Following the River' is a lyric reflection on women that have been erased from our history and what that means for today. 2017.In this together: fifteen stories of truth & reconciliation
Par Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail. 2016
This collection of essays from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous contributors from across Canada welcomes readers into a timely, healing conversation.…
They come from journalists, writers, academics, visual artists, filmmakers, city planners, and lawyers, all of whom share their personal light-bulb moments regarding when and how they grappled with the harsh reality of colonization in Canada, and its harmful legacy. Without flinching, they look deeply and honestly at their own experiences and assumptions about race and racial divides in Canada in hopes that the rest of the country will do the same. 2016.Bad medicine: a judge's struggle for justice in a First Nations community
Par John Reilly. 2010
Judge John Reilly's jurisdiction included a First Nations community plagued by suicide, addiction, poverty, violence and corruption. Early in his…
career, he steadily handed out prison sentences with little regard for long-term consequences and even less knowledge as to why crime was so rampant on the reserve in the first place. In an unprecedented move, Judge Reilly ordered an investigation into the tragic and corrupt conditions on the reserve. Then some labelled him a racist; others thought he should be removed from his post. But many on the Stoney Reserve hailed him a hero as he attempted to uncover the dark challenges and difficult history many First Nations communities face. 2010.Beyond blood: rethinking indigenous identity
Par Pamela D Palmater. 2011

entities, as the current status criteria contain descent-based rules that are particularly discriminatory against women and their descendants. Beginning with an historic overview of legislative enactments defining Indian status and their impact on First Nations, the author examines contemporary court rulings dealing with Aboriginal rights and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in relation to Indigenous identity, and band membership codes. She offers suggestions for a better way of determining Indigenous identity and citizenship. 2011.
