Le vieil Inuk (Grande Nature Ser.)
By André Vacher. 1999
" Le vieil Inuk, héros de cette merveilleuse histoire, sait survivre au froid le plus intense dans un igloo chauffé…
par une simple lampe à huile. Il sait attendre la fin de la tempête, sans rien à manger, pendant des jours. Il a appris à rivaliser de ruse avec lours blanc et le phoque. Aujourdhui, Amaamak part en traîneau à chiens pour chasser Tuktu, le caribou qui donne la vie. Ce sera sa dernière expédition. Le vieil Inuk emmène avec lui son petit-fils Kingalik, ainsi que lauteur de ce livre. Mais sur sa route se dresse Amarok le grand loup blanc, symbole de son destin. Pour conjurer un horrible tabou, Amaamak sculpte une statuette magique. En vain. Inéluctablement, la fatalité fait son oeuvre. Le vieil Inuk est un récit puissant, à limage du grand personnage qui la inspiré. Lun et lautre sont burinés au visage et au coeur par les rigueurs de lArctique, le Dos de la Terre. Lauteur raconte avec la voix ardente de lexplorateur parti de France pour découvrir le vrai visage du peuple inuit. Rien cependant ne pouvait le préparer à cette extraordinaire aventure resurgie dun passé lointain et pourtant toute récente. " -- 4e de couv. 1999.L'héritage spirituel des Indiens d'amérique

By Frederick John Shore. 2017
All our relations: finding the path forward (CBC Massey lectures)
By Tanya Talaga. 2018
Every single year in Canada, one-third of all deaths among Indigenous youth are due to suicide. Studies indicate youth between…
the ages of ten and nineteen, living on reserve, are five to six times more likely to commit suicide than their peers in the rest of the population. Suicide is a new behaviour for First Nations people. There is no record of any suicide epidemics prior to the establishment of the 130 residential schools across Canada. Talaga argues that the aftershocks of cultural genocide have resulted in a disturbing rise in youth suicides in Indigenous communities in Canada and beyond. She examines the tragic reality of children feeling so hopeless they want to die, of kids perishing in clusters, forming suicide pacts, or becoming romanced by the notion of dying - a phenomenon that experts call "suicidal ideation." She also looks at the rising global crisis, as evidenced by the high suicide rates among the Inuit of Greenland and Aboriginal youth in Australia. Finally, she documents suicide prevention strategies in Nunavut, Seabird Island, and Greenland; Facebook's development of AI software to actively link kids in crisis with mental health providers; and the push by First Nations leadership in Northern Ontario for a new national health strategy that could ultimately lead communities towards healing from the pain of suicide.

By Leanne Betasamosake Simpson. 2017
Across North America, Indigenous acts of resistance have in recent years opposed the removal of federal protections for forests and…
waterways in Indigenous lands, halted the expansion of tar sands extraction and the pipeline construction at Standing Rock, and demanded justice for murdered and missing Indigenous women. Simpson locates Indigenous political resurgence as a practice rooted in uniquely Indigenous theorizing, writing, organizing, and thinking. Indigenous resistance is a radical rejection of contemporary colonialism focused around refusing the dispossession of Indigenous bodies and land. Simpson makes clear that the resistance's goal can no longer be cultural resurgence as a mechanism for inclusion in a multicultural mosaic. Instead, she calls for unapologetic, place-based Indigenous alternatives to the destructive logics of the settler colonial state, including heteropatriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalist exploitation.The North-West is our mother: the story of Louis Riel's people, the Métis Nation /
By Jean Teillet. 2019
There is a missing chapter in the narrative of Canada’s Indigenous peoples - the story of the Métis Nation, a…
new Indigenous people descended from both First Nations and Europeans. Their story begins in the last decade of the eighteenth century in the Canadian North-West. Within twenty years the Métis proclaimed themselves a nation and won their first battle. Within forty years they were famous throughout North America for their military skills, their nomadic life and their buffalo hunts. The Métis Nation didn’t just drift slowly into the Canadian consciousness in the early 1800s; it burst onto the scene fully formed. The Métis were flamboyant, defiant, loud and definitely not noble savages. They were nomads with a very different way of being in the world - always on the move, very much in the moment, passionate and fierce. They were romantics and visionaries with big dreams. They battled continuously - for recognition, for their lands and for their rights and freedoms. In 1870 and 1885, led by the iconic Louis Riel, they fought back when Canada took their lands. These acts of resistance became defining moments in Canadian history, with implications that reverberate to this day: Western alienation, Indigenous rights and the French/English divide. After being defeated at the Battle of Batoche in 1885, the Métis lived in hiding for twenty years. But early in the twentieth century, they determined to hide no more and began a long, successful fight back into the Canadian consciousness. The Métis people are now recognized in Canada as a distinct Indigenous nation. Written by the great-grandniece of Louis Riel, this popular and engaging history of “forgotten people” tells the story up to the present era of national reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. 2019.Peace and good order: the case for indigenous justice in Canada /
By Harold Johnson. 2019
In early 2018, the failures of Canada's justice system were sharply and painfully revealed in the verdicts issued in the…
deaths of Colten Boushie and Tina Fontaine. The outrage and confusion that followed those verdicts inspired former Crown prosecutor and bestselling author Harold R. Johnson to make the case against Canada for its failure to fulfill its duty under Treaty to effectively deliver justice to Indigenous people, worsening the situation and ensuring long-term damage to Indigenous communities. In this direct, concise, and essential volume, Harold R. Johnson examines the justice system's failures to deliver "peace and good order" to Indigenous people. He explores the part that he understands himself to have played in that mismanagement, drawing on insights he has gained from the experience; insights into the roots and immediate effects of how the justice system has failed Indigenous people, in all the communities in which they live; and insights into the struggle for peace and good order for Indigenous people now. 2019.One drum: stories and ceremonies for a planet /
By Richard Wagamese. 2019
One Drum draws from the foundational teachings of Ojibway tradition, the Grandfather Teachings. Focusing specifically on the lessons of humility,…
respect and courage, the volume contains simple ceremonies that anyone anywhere can do, alone or in a group, to foster harmony and connection. Wagamese believed that there is a shaman in each of us, and we are all teachers and in the world of the spirit there is no right way or wrong way. Writing of neglect, abuse and loss of identity, Wagamese recalled living on the street, going to jail, drinking too much, feeling rootless and afraid, and then the feeling of hope he gained from connecting with the spiritual ways of his people. He expressed the belief that ceremony has the power to unify and to heal for people of all backgrounds. 2019.Voici Tom Longboat (Biographies en Images)
