By Martin Prémont. 2013

les policiers deviennent, malgré eux, la cible de critiques sévères et de commentaires désobligeants. Jamais, ils n'ont l'occasion d'expliquer leur vision et les réalités auxquelles ils sont confrontés. Prisonniers du silence, les policiers ne peuvent se permettre le luxe d'exprimer à tout vent leurs frustrations et leur mécontentement. Bien qu'ils soient munis de leur plus épaisse carapace, malgré leurs formations et les meilleures connaissances techniques, certains événement laissent des traces, des cicatrices profondes dans les terres obscures de l'âme de ces hommes et ces femmes. Nul n'est constitué en béton ou en bois, pas même les policiers. Ces derniers sont tous revêtus d'un manteau qu'on appelle humain... " -- 4e de couv.Le crash et le défi, survivre (À vrai dire)

By Lee Maracle. 2017
On her first book tour at the age of 26, Lee Maracle was asked a question from the audience, one…
she couldn't possibly answer at that moment. But she has been thinking about it ever since. As time has passed, she has been asked countless similar questions, all of them too big to answer, but not too large to contemplate. These questions, which touch upon subjects such as citizenship, segregation, labour, law, prejudice and reconciliation (to name a few), are the heart of "My Conversations with Canadians". In prose essays that are both conversational and direct, Maracle seeks not to provide any answers to these questions she has lived with for so long. Rather, she thinks through each one using a multitude of experiences she's had as a Canadian, a First Nations leader, a woman and mother and grandmother over the course of her life. Presents a tour de force exploration into the writer's own history and a re-imagining of the future of our nation. Bestseller. 2017.

other artefacts, were given away by a Canadian museum to an American Anishinaabe group that had no family or community connections to the collection. Many years passed before the drum was returned to the family. Matthews takes us through this astonishing set of events from multiple perspectives, exploring community and museum viewpoints, visiting the ceremonial group leader in Wisconsin, and finally looking back from the point of view of the drum. The book contains a powerful Anishinaabe interpretive perspective on repatriation and on anthropology itself.
