By Robert P Wells. 2012
Racism takes many forms. When it rises from simply being the opinion of a handful of people to becoming widely…
accepted by a nation, it can result in official programs that may to the public be touted as beneficial, but that can actually discriminate against entire ethnic groups.

Bestseller. 2015.Une école à la dérive: essai sur le système d'éducation au Nunavik
By Nicolas Bertrand. 2016
Depuis l'implantation des premières écoles fédérales au milieu du siècle dernier, le système d'éducation au Nunavik n'a cessé d'être en…
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.En 2011, Jacqueline Lagacé, Ph. D., publie l'ouvrage Comment j'ai vaincu la douleur et l'alimentation chronique par l'alimentation, qui suscite…
un immense intérêt tant au Canada qu'en Europe. Son blogue est rapidement inondé de témoignages et commentaires soulignant les bienfaits de la diète hypotoxique, pointant aussi les difficultés rencontrées. Infatigable chercheuse, Jacqueline Lagacé s'attelle aussitôt à la tâche, soucieuse d'apporter des réponses précises aux 1001 questions soulevées et de faire état des avancées de la recherche scientifique en ce domaine. L'ouvrage Une alimentation ciblée pour préserver ou retrouver la santé de l'intestin est le fruit de ce travail. L'auteure y vulgarise les connaissances scientifiques les plus récentes concernant les liens entre les aliments consommés et les maladies inflammatoires chroniques. Elle indique comment et pourquoi les choix alimentaires sont en très grande partie responsables de l'équilibre ou du déséquilibre fonctionnel de l'intestin et, conséquemment, de la santé globale. Elle explicite aussi l'impact de la diète hypotoxique sur les maladies chroniques. Enfin, elle apporte un éclairage précieux sur des sujets controversés, comme la prise de suppléments de calcium, de vitamine D, d'oméga 3, la fiabilité des tests de détection des intolérances alimentaires, etc. La réussite de la diète hypotoxique passe par une alimentation ciblée et cet ouvrage est l'outil indispensable pour y parvenir. 2016.Ultimate foods for ultimate health.. and don't forget the chocolate!: And Don't Forget The Chocolate!

By 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.The zone: a dietary road map (The zone Ser.)

By Colin G Calloway. 2008
Before the American War for Independence, the Shawnees lived in Ohio, hunted in Kentucky, and ranged as far as Georgia,…
Missouri, and Pennsylvania. With an uncanny ability to form alliances with others, they developed a well-deserved reputation for being loyal friends and formidable foes. Leaders like Blue Jacket, Black Hoof, and Tecumseh defended Shawnee homelands for more than 60 years. But America's westward surge ultimately proved too much. And when Tecumseh fell in battle, the Shawnees' final hope for independence died with him. 2008.The reconciliation manifesto: recovering the land, rebuilding the economy
By Arthur Manuel, Ronald M Derrickson. 2017
Manuel and Grand Chief Derrickson challenge virtually everything that non-Indigenous Canadians believe about their relationship with Indigenous Peoples and the…
steps that are needed to place this relationship on a healthy and honourable footing. They show how governments are attempting to reconcile with Indigenous Peoples without touching the basic colonial structures that dominate and distort the relationship. They review the current state of land claims, tackle the persistence of racism, and celebrate Indigenous Rights Movements while decrying the role of government-funded organizations like the Assembly of First Nations. They document the federal government's disregard for the substance of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples while claiming to implement it. This will appeal to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people who are open and willing to look at the real problems and find real solutions. Winner of the 2018 Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize. 2017.
