Abstract: Although they could not be conscripted, when World War II was declared, thousands of Canadian Indigenous men and women elisted and fought alongside their non-Indigenous countrymen. While they fought for freedom for others, ironically the Indigenous soldiers were not allowed equality in their own country. As a reward for fighting the Canadian Soldier Veteran's Settlement Act allowed returning soldiers to buy land at a cheap price. However, many of the Indigenous solders were never offered, nor told about the land entitlelement. Some returned home to find the government had seized parts of their own reserve land to compensate non-Indigenous war veterans. With narrator Gordon Tootoosis providing a historical review, Indigenous veterans poignantly share thier unforgettable war memories and their heailing process. We join them as they travel back to Europe to perform a sacred circle for friends left behind, but not forgotten,in foreign grave sites.

Medium: Library - Book (including soft-cover and pamphlets)

Subjects: Fiction; Mountaineering

Abstract: In a debut novel from Green Writers Press by Jonathan Howland, the austere beauty and high exposure of mountain adventure provide the context and the measure for what it means to be alive for climbing partners Joe Holland and Pete Hunter--until one of them isn’t. When the book opens, it’s the mid-80s. Joe Holland, the novel’s narrator, is a climber and a seeker, but mostly he’s Pete Hunter’s shadow. The two meet in college and spend the next ten years living at the base of any rock that appears scalable, most of them near Yosemite and California’s High Sierra. The joys and strains of their friendship comprise the novel’s first half. In the second, the bare bones--obsession, grief, love, and repair--come into stark relief when Pete’s grown son Will calls Joe back into climbing, into the past, and into breathless vitality -- Front dust jacket flap

Author: Graham, Mary

Publisher: Calgary, AB : Bighorn Books, an imprint of University of Calgary Press

Published Date: 2022

Physical Description: xi, 401 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 22 x 28 cm

Medium: Library - Book (including soft-cover and pamphlets)

Subjects: Film making; Canadian Rockies; History of Alberta; History-Canada; Indigenous

Abstract: The unconventional, untold story of Alberta's film history, defined by the terrible beautify of its pristine landscape, surprisingly important to Hollywood, and recaptured in lost or ignored Indigenous perspectives and stories. Alberta's magnificent landscape has served as a popular location for filmmakers since the dawn of the movie industry. For film pioneers, Alberta embodied the myth of the Great Northwest, a primeval mountain wilderness and the last western frontier. In turn, Canadian entrepreneurs were eager for American studios to drape Alberta landscape across the backdrop of their movies, an advertisement without equal. A Stunning Backdrop is the untold story of six rollicking decades of filmmaking in Alberta. Mary Graham draws on twelve years of exhaustive research to reveal a film history like no other, illuminating the deep importance of the province to Hollywood. She explores the often friendly partnerships between American filmmakers and Indigenous communities, particularly the Stoney Nakoda, that provided economic opportunities and, in many cases, allowed them to retain religious and cultural practices banned by the Canadian government. Beautifully illustrated with archival photography and featuring century-old set stills alongside photographs of the locations as they appear today, by Jean Becq, Solomon Chiniquay, Jeff Wallace, George Webber, and Paul Zizka, A Stunning Backdrop is the fascinating, often surprising, always unconventional story of film in a province whose rugged, compelling, multifarious, terribly beautiful landscape continues to inspire filmmakers and audiences around the world.-- Provided by publisher.

Contents: Early Alberta movie landscapes today -- Into the (civilized) wilds -- Snow! snow! snow! -- A rabble rouser and a dreamer -- Father of the western -- In the shadow of Castle Mountain -- Royalty, great chiefs, ranches, and rodeos -- The joy girl and others of a gregarious nature -- Mountain men -- Building the railway, movie style -- War and propaganda -- Out of the coma -- Rodeo westerns of the atomic age -- Selling sex and nostalgia -- Making Rocky Mountain movie magic -- The power of revision -- List of movies made in Alberta, 1917-1960
