- Abstract
- The third volume in the First Nations Language Readers series--meant for language learners and language users--this collection presents eight Blackfoot stories told by Lena Russell, a fluent speaker of Blackfoot from the Kainai (Blood) reserve in southern Alberta. In contract with other Algonquian languages, such as Cree and Saulteaux (Ojibwe), Blackfoot is not usually written in syllabics, so these stories are presented in the Blackfoot language using the Roman alphabet, together with the English translation. The spelling system is based on the conventions of the International Phonetic Alphabet, and should be transparent for native speakers of Blackfoot as well as for linguists. The Reader includes a Blackfoot-to-English glossary containing all the nouns, verbs, adjuncts, etc. , found in the texts, as well as stress or pitch accents over the vowel or vowels which bear the accent. (from University of Regina Press website)

- Abstract
- Pertains to the story of Albert Smith, a climber and mountaineer. Passionate about the Alpine Mountains, Smith pursued extravagant adventures only to return to Britain and share his experience with large crowds. He ignited a love of mountaineering, curiosity and adventure in those who heard of his extravagant climbs and visits to Mount Blanc. It is through books as such, that readers are better able to conceptualize mountaineering and adventuring on an international scale. The book offers readers a chance to learn about mountaineering in Britain, thus allowing them to relate it to the experience of mountaineers in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Additionally, the book helps express the vastness of mountaineering and the ways in which it influenced daily life, internationally.

- Abstract
- Pertains to the artwork and art history of Alex Janvier, an Indigenous man from the Cold Lake First Nations, Treaty 6 Territory. While reflecting his strong Indigenous culture, his art combines both Indigenous and Canadian stylistic elements. His art is deeply representative of his connection to nature, as well as the struggles imposed upon Indigenous Peoples through colonial relations. Parallels can be drawn when considering the effects of colonial relations on Indigenous Peoples and communities, such as those who resided in and around the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

Hill -- The landlord / Lee-Ann Martin -- The narrative murals of Alex Janvier : Abstraction, representation and oral history / Chris Dueker -- Plates -- Chronology : The life and work of Alex Janvier / Jaime Koebel -- List of works -- Exhibitions -- Further references.

- German Language copy. Facsmile reproduction of book originally published by London : Ernest Nister; New York : E.P. Dutton & Co.No., [ca. 1910]. The reproduction is from the book held in the Alpine Club of Canada Library, inscribed: "Paul A. W. Wallace Toronto Dec. 25, 1913 From S. H. Mitchell". This book was described as Conrad Kain's favourite book in Chapter 10 of the book "Where the Clouds Can Go" by Conrad Kain, and edited by J. Monroe Thorington. (?),. The archives produced a reproduction (with images) from a first ed. copy of 'Animals' Alpine Club', a book in The Animals series, and a favourite of Conrad Kain of the ACC. These children's books are very rare and we are working to build a collection of them for conservation and to allow the stories to be preserved. See 05.1 B47a.
