Nta’tugwaqanminen-Notre histoire présente la vision, la relation à la terre, l’occupation historique et actuelle du territoire, de même que les noms…
de lieux et ce que révèlent ceux-ci sur l’occupation ancestrale du territoire. Il porte sur les traités conclus avec la Couronne britannique, sur le respect de ces traités par la nation mi'gmaque et le non-respect de ceux-ci par les divers paliers de gouvernement. Il explore la dépossession des Mi’gmaqs du Gespe’gewa’gi (Nord du Nouveau-Brunswick et péninsule gaspésienne) dans la foulée de la colonisation illégale européenne, puis le développement de la péninsule par ces colons européens, à leur avantage. Il aborde également la question des droits et titres des Mi’gmaqs sur leur territoire. Nta’tugwaqanminen montre que les Mi’gmaqs du Gespe’gewa’gi occupent ce territoire depuis toujours, qu’ils en étaient les seuls occupants avant la colonisation européenne, et qu’ils occupent sans interruption depuis ce temps. Deux voix émergent de cet ouvrage : celle des Mi’gmaqs du Gespe’gewa’gi, et de leurs aînés, qui sont les narrateurs de leur histoire collective, et celle des chercheurs qui ont étudié cette histoire, notamment en menant une enquête toponymique pour découvrir les indicateurs de mouvements migratoires. Une coédition avec Fernwood Publishing. Ce livre est publié en français. - Nta’tugwaqanminen speaks of the Gespe’gewa’gi Mi’gmaq vision, history, relation to the land, past and present occupation of the territory, as well as their place names and what they reveal in terms of ancient territorial occupation. It speaks of the treaties they agreed to with the British Crown, the respect of these treaties on the part of the Mi’gmaq people and the breach of these by various levels of governments. It explores the dispossession the Mi’gmaq of Gespe’gewa’gi (Northern New Brunswick and the Gaspé Peninsula) endured while the European settlers illegally occupied and developed the Gaspé Peninsula to their own advantage and the rights and titles the Mi’gmaq people still have on their lands. Nta’tugwaqanminen provides evidence that the Mi’gmaq of the Gespe’gewa’gi have occupied their territory since time immemorial, were its sole occupants prior to European settlement, and occupied it on a continuous basis. There are two voices in the book: that of the Mi’gmaq of the Gespe’gewa’gi, including the Elders, as they act as narrators of the collective history, and that of the researchers, who studied this history, including advanced investigation on place names as indicators of migration patterns. A co-edition with Fernwood Publishing. This book is published in French.

Elle a osé réussir (in English, She Dared to Succeed), delves into the life of a woman who, for more…
than 30 years, broke multiple glass ceilings in the Canadian media and political worlds. Well-known in the broadcasting industry, she was propelled to the political forefront following her appointment to the Senate of Canada (1995) and her election as President of the Liberal Party of Canada (2006). She had to overcome many challenges throughout her career: sexism, prejudice against single mothers and career women, wage disparities, and harassment in the workplace. Above all, she experienced the opprobrium reserved for Senate members—all of whom were exonerated—targeted as part of the Senate expenses scandal (2012-2016). In this book, she bears witness to the human cost of this chapter of Canadian history. This biography, with a foreword by the Hon. John Manley, is the fruit of impressive research by the author, who not only interviewed Madame Charette-Poulin at length, but also conducted 67 interviews, including with prominent Canadians such as Right Honourable Jean Chrétien and Brian Mulroney, the Honourable Sheila Copps, Sharon Carstairs, Mike Duffy, Hugh Segal, Céline Hervieux-Payette, Vivienne Poy, Linda Frum, Sheila Fraser, as well as judges Robert Desmarais, and Robert Del Frate. She dared to succeed... despite it all.Also available in English (She Dared To Succeed)Available in hardcover, trade paperback, and accessible PDF et ePUB formats.
