Abstract
"Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) (Heritage Conservation Studies, Architecture and Engineering Services) was requested by Claire Sieber (Cultural Resource Management Advisor for Parks Canada's Mount Revelstoke and Glacier Field Unit) to provide recording services of eastbound and westbound viewscapes in Glacier National Park, including Rogers Pass National Historic Site (RPNHS) in British Columbia. This request stems from an analysis made by the Mount Revelstoke and Glacier Field Unit in conjunction with Parks Canada's Indigenous Affairs and Cultural Heritage Directorate to identify the values of this cultural landscape and its character-defining elements and subsequently document them. This is a mitigation measure assocated with constriction on the Trans-Canada Highway (TCH)." - Project Description

Abstract
Born in the west but raised initially in the east, Dale Portman was eight years old when his family headed back to the land of the Rockies. Growing up in Calgary, he was introduced to the Rocky Mountains at an early age and as a young man eventually found work in Banff National Park, where he spent most of his time in the saddle while working for outfitter Bert Mickle, based out of Skoki Lodge near Lake Louise. Jobs in the local tourist industry and at a couple of ski hills followed. Eventually Dale was drawn to the warden service, doing avalanche control and forecasting in Rogers Pass, with the backcountry of northern Jasper, Yoho National Park and Field, BC, eventually becoming the stage for many memorable, humorous, tragic and life-affirming moments. The Green Horse takes the reader on a journey through a time when our mountain national parks were less touristy and more substantive. When there was space for everyone to enjoy without having to line up and there was a sense of freedom and adventure in the air. (From Rocky Mountain Books website)

History
Abstract
Hangdog Days vividly chronicles the era when rock climbing exploded in popularity, attracting a new generation of talented climbers eager to reach new heights via harder routes and faster ascents. This contentious, often entertaining period gave rise to sport climbing, climbing gyms, and competitive climbing--indelibly transforming the sport. Jeff Smoot was one of those brash young climbers, and here he traces the development of traditional climbing "rules," enforced first through peer pressure, then later through intimidation and sabotage. In the late '70s, several climbers began introducing new tactics including "hangdogging," hanging on gear to practice moves, that the old guard considered cheating. As more climbers broke ranks with traditional style, the new gymnastic approach pushed the limits of climbing from 5.12 to 5.13. When French climber Jean-Baptiste Tribout ascended To Bolt or Not to Be, 5.14a, at Smith Rock in 1986, he cracked a barrier many people had considered impenetrable. In his lively, fast-paced history enriched with insightful firsthand experience, Smoot focuses on the climbing achievements of three of the era's superstars: John Bachar, Todd Skinner, and Alan Watts, while not neglecting the likes of Ray Jardine, Lynn Hill, Mark Hudon, Tony Yaniro, and Peter Croft. He deftly brings to life the characters and events of this raucous, revolutionary time in rock climbing, exploring, as he says, "what happened and why it mattered, not only to me but to the people involved and those who have followed" (from Mountaineers Books website)

Abstract
Since its publication in 2012, The Inconvenient Indian has become a Canadian classic. At once a history and a subversion of history, this book has launched a national conversation about what it means to be "Indian" in North America, and the relationship between Natives and non-Natives in the centuries since the two first encountered each other. This is a book both timeless and timely, burnished with anger yet tempered by wit, and ultimately a hard-won offering of hope--a sometimes inconvenient but nonetheless indispensable account for all of us, seeking to understand how we might tell a new story for the future."-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract
Most books dealing with North American Indigenous peoples are exhaustive in coverage. They provide in-depth discussion of various culture areas which, while valuable, sometimes means that the big picture context is lost. This book offers a corrective to that trend by providing a concise, thematic overview of the key issues facing Indigenous peoples in North America, from prehistory to the present. It integrates a culture area analysis within a thematic approach, covering archaeology, traditional lifeways, the colonial era, and contemporary Indigenous culture. Muckle also explores the history of the relationship between Indigenous peoples and anthropologists with rigor and honesty. The result is a remarkably comprehensive book that provides a strong grounding for understanding Indigenous cultures in North America (from publisher's website)
Contents
Situating the indigenous peoples of North America -- Studying the indigenous peoples of North America through the lens of anthropology -- Comprehending North American archaeology -- Studying population, languages, and cultures in North America as they were at AD 1500 -- Overview of traditional lifeways -- Understanding the colonial experience -- Contemporary conditions, nation-building, and anthropology -- Epilogue : final comments -- Appendices: The United Nations declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples ; Excerpts from the code of ethics of the American Anthropological Association (2009) ; Excerpts from the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (1990) ; Excerpts from the Royal Proclamation of 1763 ; Apology for residential schools ; Apology to the native peoples of the United States ; Studying indigenous peoples of North America.
