Par John Nihmey. 1998
On New Year's Eve 1988, Minnie Sutherland, a 40-year-old mother of two was hit by a car in Hull, Quebec.…
Two police officers dragged her to the side of the road, referred to her as a "squaw" and left her. Later that night, after being misdiagnosed as a drunk by two ambulance attendants, Minnie died while in hospital. A coroner's inquest into her death revealed startling facts about the perception of native people in Canada, and how those perceptions may have contributed to the death of Minnie Sutherland. c1998.Par Donna K Goodleaf. 1995
A Mohawk who was born and raised in the Kahnawake Territory, Goodleaf provides a Mohawk perspective on the issues surrounding…
the Oka Crisis of 1990, as well as an in-depth discussion of Mohawk sovereignty. 1995.Par Emilie Cameron. 2015
Drawing on Samuel Hearne's gruesome account of an alleged massacre at Bloody Falls in 1771, Cameron reveals how Qablunaat (non-Inuit,…
non-Indigenous people) have used stories about the Arctic for over two centuries as a tool to justify ongoing colonization and economic exploitation of the North. Rather than expecting Inuit to counter these narratives with their own stories about their homeland, Cameron argues that it is the responsibility of Qablunaat to develop new relationships with northerners – ones grounded in the political, cultural, economic, environmental, and social landscapes of the contemporary Arctic. 2015.Par Kathryn Magee Labelle. 2013
Situated within the area stretching from Georgian Bay in the north to Lake Simcoe in the east, the Wendat Confederacy…
flourished for two hundred years. By the mid-seventeenth century, however, Wendat society was threatened by European disease and Iroquois attacks. This book depicts the creation of a powerful Wendat diaspora in the wake of their dispersal and throughout the latter half of the century. Turning the story of the Wendat conquest on its head, the author demonstrates the resiliency of the Wendat Confederacy and its people. 2013.Par Judith Peacock. 2000

the serious effects of the body's inability to use glucose properly because of a lack of insulin. Grades 5-8. 2000.Par Robert Tattersall. 2009
Tattersall, a leading authority on diabetes, describes the story of the disease from the ancient writings of Galen and Avicenna…
to the recognition of sugar in the urine of diabetics in the 18th century and the identification of pancreatic diabetes in 1889. With the discovery of insulin in the early 20th century, optimism ensued, which eventually waned due to the increasing complexity of the disease, and the increasing number of young patients. c2009.Par Lynn Gehl. 2017
Denied her Indigenous status, Lynn Gehl has been fighting her entire life to reclaim mino-pimadiziwin--the good life. Exploring Anishinaabeg philosophy…
and Anishinaabeg conceptions of truth, Gehl shows how she came to locate her spirit and decolonize her identity, thereby becoming, in her words, "fully human." Gehl also provides a harsh critique of Canada and takes on important anti-colonial battles, including the land claims process and sex discrimination in the Indian Act. 2017.Par Charlie Angus. 2015
Exposes a system of apartheid in Canada that led to the largest youth-driven human rights movement in the country's history.…
The movement was inspired by Shannen Koostachin, a young Cree woman George Stroumboulopoulos named as one of "five teenage girls in history who kicked ass." All Shannen wanted was a decent education. She found an ally in Charlie Angus, who had no idea she was going to change his life and inspire others to change the country. Based on extensive documentation assembled from Freedom of Information requests, Angus establishes a dark, unbroken line that extends from the policies of John A. Macdonald to the government of today. He provides chilling insight into how Canada - through breaches of treaties, broken promises, and callous neglect - deliberately denied First Nations children their basic human rights. 2015.Par Laura DeVries. 2011
February 2006. First Nations protesters blocked workers from entering a housing development in southern Ontario, their protest highlighting the issue…
of land rights and sparking a series of ongoing events known as the “Caledonia Crisis.” This account of the dispute links the actions of police, officials, and locals to non-Aboriginal discourses about law, landscape, and identity. DeVries encourages non-Aboriginal Canadians to reconsider their assumptions. 2011.Cairns, through the study of the historical record, discusses the desired relation of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples to each other…
in Canada. He considers the differences between the assimilationist assumptions of the imperial era and the more recent attempts at nation-to-nation negotiations supported by the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, and contemplates whether either of these approaches can lead to an outcome that will satisfy both sides. 2000.Par Maggie Siggins. 2005
For over 200 years, the Cree community of Pelican Narrows has endured a torturous relationship with encroaching European culture, from…
the Hudson Bay factors and missionaries of earlier times to the bureaucrats and police of today. Author Siggins gives us the human face behind the newspaper headlines of Native issues, after years of research on a community she has known most of her life. 2005.Par James S Hirsch. 2006

Describes true dramatized events in the lives of four modern Inuit artists. The stories range from a boy's survival adventure…
with his dog on shifting ice and a hunter's close-up encounter with a polar bear, to a shaman's dangerous journey to appease the sea-goddess at the bottom of the stormy ocean. Also includes a brief biography of each artist, a bibliography and glossary. Grades 3-6. 2007.When Europeans first arrived on this continent, Algonquian languages were spoken from the northeastern seaboard through the Great Lakes region,…
across much of Canada, and even in scattered communities of the American West. This book contains vital background information and new translations of songs and stories reaching back to the seventeenth century; gathers a host of respected and talented singers, storytellers, historians, anthropologists, linguists, and tribal educators, both Native and non-Native, from the United States and Canada-all working together to orchestrate a single, complex performance of the Algonquian languages. Some descriptions of violence. 2005.Par Anastasia M Shkilnyk. 1985

from the arctic to aboriginal Australia, he illustrates threats to many endangered tongues. The report also speaks to the relationship between language and identity, and warns of globalization's consequences. 2003.Par Bernard Saladin D'Anglure. 2006

tradition et la modernité, le souvenir encore très vif du chamanisme, avec une christianisation récente, la vie de chasseurs-pêcheurs, avec l'école, l'internet et le développement minier. Ils cherchent à valoriser leur tradition orale et leur conception originale de l'être et du renaître inuit : mythes d'origine de la vie humaine, de la différenciation des sexes, de la mort, de la guerre et d'espèces animales ; instauration des règles du mariage et des relation de la première femme chamane, en proie à la jalousie d'un homme. Disettes passées, cannibalisme de famine, stérilité des couples, avec, comme remèdes, partage de gibiers, des enfants et échange de conjoints. Cette tradition orale promeut l'épanouissement individuel et la soumission à l'intérêt collectif , elle a beaucoup à nous apprendre sur la vie et sa reproduction.
