James Bay, 1971-1975, for the governments in Québec City and Ottawa to wake up to the disgrace. Nungak relates the inside story of how the young Inuit and Cree "Davids" took action when Québec began construction on the giant James Bay hydro project. They fought in court and at the negotiation table for an accord that effectively became Canada's first land-claims agreement. Nungak's account is accompanied by his essays on Nunavik history. Together they provide a fascinating insight into a virtually unknown chapter of Canadian history. 2017.Wild: [récit]

crise. Absentéisme fréquent, faibles résultats scolaires, décrochage important des élèves au secondaire. le portrait est, hélas, familier. L'école échoue par ailleurs à enseigner adéquatement la culture inuite, ce qui attise les critiques à son égard. Prenant appui sur son expérience personnelle à titre de suppléant dans le village de Kangirsuk, Nicolas Bertrand dresse le portrait de cette école dont la dérive a des racines profondes et complexes. Il réfléchit aussi à la manière de réformer ce système et démontre la difficulté de cette entreprise. Car tant et aussi longtemps que l'école sera perçue par les Inuits, à tort ou à raison, comme un obstacle et non comme une condition de leur émancipation, sa légitimité sera contestée et sa mission, compromise. De l'éducation de sa jeunesse dépend pourtant l'avenir du Nunavik qui, sans renier son passé, doit aussi accepter pleinement sa modernité. 2016.In the late eighteenth century and throughout the nineteenth century, an unprecedented number of Indigenous people – especially Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabeg,…

Pauline Johnson, the Mohawk poet and performer, and many others. 2017.Travel easy: the practical guide for people over 50

Par Bev Sellars. 2013
Like thousands of other Aboriginal children, Xatsu'll chief Bev Sellars spent part of her childhood as a student in a…
church-run residential school. These institutions attempted to "civilize" Native children through Christian teachings; forced separation from family, language, and culture; and strict discipline. Perhaps the most symbolically potent strategy used to alienate residential school children was addressing them by assigned numbers only, not by the names with which they knew and understood themselves. Sellars breaks her silence about the residential school's lasting effects on her and her family - from substance abuse to suicide attempts - and articulates her own path to healing. 2013.
