Split tooth
Par Tanya Tagaq. 2018
A girl grows up in Nunavut in the 1970s. She knows joy, and friendship, and parents' love. She knows boredom,…
and listlessness, and bullying. She knows the tedium of the everyday world, and the raw, amoral power of the ice and sky, the seductive energy of the animal world. She knows the ravages of alcohol, and violence at the hands of those she should be able to trust. She sees the spirits that surround her, and the immense power that dwarfs all of us. When she becomes pregnant, she must navigate all this. Veering back and forth between the grittiest features of a small arctic town, the electrifying proximity of the world of animals, and ravishing world of myth, Tanya Tagaq explores a world where the distinctions between good and evil, animal and human, victim and transgressor, real and imagined lose their meaning, but the guiding power of love remains. Haunting, brooding, exhilarating, and tender all at once, Tagaq moves effortlessly between fiction and memoir, myth and reality, poetry and prose, and conjures a world and a heroine readers will never forget. 2018.Fire song
Par Adam Garnet Jones. 2018
How can Shane reconcile his feelings for David with his desire for a better life? Shane is still reeling from…
the suicide of his kid sister, Destiny. How could he have missed the fact that she was so sad? He tries to share his grief with his girlfriend, Tara, but she's too concerned with her own needs to offer him much comfort. What he really wants is to be able to turn to the one person on the rez whom he loves--his friend, David. Things go from bad to worse as Shane's dream of going to university is shattered and his grieving mother withdraws from the world. Worst of all, he and David have to hide their relationship from everyone. Shane feels that his only chance of a better life is moving to Toronto, but David refuses to join him. When yet another tragedy strikes, the two boys have to make difficult choices about their future together. With deep insight into the life of Indigenous people on the reserve, this book masterfully portrays how a community looks to the past for guidance and comfort while fearing a future of poverty and shame.

regroupe sous des termes larges et un peu flous ? Présents en Europe, mais aussi en Amérique, ces gens-là ont toujours attiré le regard de leurs contemporains et l'attention, quand ce n'est pas la suspicion, des pouvoirs publics. Beaucoup d'idées reçues circulent à leur propos, témoignant à la fois de la peur et de la fascination, et bien souvent de l'ignorance : Les Gitans viennent de l'Inde , Les Gitans vivent dans des camps , Les Roms sont des Gitans nomades venus de l'Est , Ils n'envoient pas leurs enfants à l'école , mais aussi Les Gitanes savent lire les lignes de la main , Les Gitans ont la musique dans le sang , etc. On loue leur sens de la famille et leur culture. Mais on leur interdit l'entrée de nos villages et le stationnement dans nos villes. Cet ouvrage est une invitation à ouvrir les yeux... et les esprits ! " -- 4e de couv.Mémoire d'Inuksuk: [récits]
Par Dorothée Banville-Cormier. 2002

dévoilant un monde déchiré entre la culture des ancêtres et l'attrait de la vie moderne. Depuis l'arrivée de l'homme blanc, on y a troqué les chiens de traîneau contre des motoneiges. L'alcool et la drogue font maintenant partie du paysage avec leur triste cortège de drames fami-liaux. Mais l'inuksuk, cet homme de pierre qui do-mine fièrement la toundra, continue de rappeler à tous les exploits des valeureux chasseurs inuits d'autrefois. Porteur d'espoir, il persiste à baliser la route pour les siens. " -- 4e de couv. 2002.The land of Maquinna
Par Ian S Mahood. 1971
One hundred and fifty years after fur traders arrived, the Nootka tribe of Vancouver Island had shrunk to 1000 people.…

Par Eden Robinson. 2018
In an effort to keep all forms of magic at bay, Jared, 17, has quit drugs and drinking. But his…
troubles are not over: now he's being stalked by David, his mom's ex--a preppy, khaki-wearing psycho with a proclivity for rib-breaking. And his mother, Maggie, a living, breathing badass as well as a witch, can't protect him like she used to because he's moved away from Kitimat to Vancouver for school. Even though he's got a year of sobriety under his belt (no thanks to his enabling, ever-partying mom), Jared also struggles with the temptation of drinking. And he's got to get his grades up, find a job that doesn't involve weed cookies, and somehow live peacefully with his Aunt Mave, who has been estranged from the family ever since she tried to "rescue" him as a baby from his mother. An indigenous activist and writer, Mave smothers him with pet names and hugs, but she is blind to the real dangers that lurk around them--the spirits and supernatural activity that fill her apartment. As the son of a Trickster, Jared is a magnet for magic, whether he hates it or not--he sees ghosts, he sees the monster moving underneath his Aunt Georgina's skin, he sees the creature that comes out of his bedroom wall and creepily wants to suck his toes. He also still hears the Trickster in his head, and other voices too. When the David situation becomes a crisis, Jared can't ignore his true nature any longer. Bestseller.
