- Abstract
- Since its creation in 1876, the Indian Act has dictated and constrained the lives and opportunities of Indigenous Peoples, and is at the root of many enduring stereotypes. Bob Joseph's book comes at a key time in the reconciliation process, when awareness from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities is at a crescendo. Joseph examines how Indigenous Peoples can return to self-government, self-determination, and self-reliance--and why doing so would result in a better country for every Canadian. He dissects the complex issues around the Indian Act, and demonstrates why learning about its cruel and irrevocable legacy is vital for the country to move toward true reconciliation

- 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.
