la fois le chemin de sa joie et son chemin de croix. Présente aux premières lignes du journal de voyage de Champlain, aujourd'hui aussi familière que mystérieuse, la nation innue vit et survit depuis au moins deux mille ans dans cette partie de l'Amérique du Nord qu'elle a nommée dans sa langue Nitassinan : notre terre. Au fil des chapitres, vous allez accompagner le jeune anthropologue que j'étais au début des années 1970, arrivé à Ekuanitshit (Mingan). Vous le devinez, ces petites histoires sont prétextes à en raconter de plus grandes. Celles d'un peuple résilient, une société traditionnelle de chasseurs nomades qui s'est maintenue pendant des siècles, une société dont les fondements ont été ébranlés et brisés entre 1850 et 1950, alors que le gouvernement orchestrait la sédentarisation des adultes et l'éducation forcée des enfants. Ce récit commence dans la nuit des temps et se poursuit à travers les siècles, jusqu'aux luttes politiques et culturelles d'aujourd'hui. 2017.One dead Indian: the premier, the police, and the Ipperwash crisis

Le résultat est lumineux : des histoires que l'on croyait connaître, comme celles de Noé, Adam et Eve, Sodome et Gomorrhe, dont on découvre le vrai sens, et d'autres, enfouies dans les pages de la Bible, qui surgissent pour notre plus grand bonheur : la ruse de Rébecca, le coup de foudre pour Rachel, la jalousie des frères de Joseph... Pour les croyants, la Bible est la Vérité qui décrit la relation entre Dieu et les hommes. Mais elle est aussi le miroir de l'humanité, dans sa bonté comme dans ses côtés les plus sombres. 2015.

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.

the war in Iraq. McQuaig claims that U.S. companies had wanted Iraq's "virtually endless" oil fields for a long time, and that talk in the White House about Iraq started well before 9/11.
