Abstract: This book presents a study conducted between 2005 and 2010 of 60 self-declared Indigenous university students from western Canada. The study explored Indigenous identity formation among these students through these central research questions:; Do conventional definitions of identity, and conventional identity formation theories, offer ways to understand the identity of these Indigenous students?; What role, if any, does postsecondary education play in the formation and/or confirmation of the identity of Indigenous students as Indigenous individuals? The study is unique for two reasons. First, little scholarly attention has been paid to Indigenous individuals’ sense of identity. While the literature and research on identity is diverse, it mostly focuses on Eurocentric definitions of identity. Second, this study emphasizes Indigenous identity formation in postsecondary institutions. This book moves beyond a simple understanding of Indigenous students’ concept of identity and delves into determining the role a university education can play in the development of an Indigenous individual’s identity (from publisher's website)

Abstract: Through pen and ink illustrations and stories, Old Man’s Garden conveys the legends and folklore connected with Southern Alberta’s wildflowers, native plants, and Indigenous culture. Originally published in 1954, Annora Brown’s Old Man’s Garden is a Canadian classic that tells the story of Southern Alberta’s native plants and wildflowers through art and in consideration of Indigenous traditional knowledge from the region. Accompanying the new RMB edition of Old Man’s Garden, Sidney Black of Fort Macleod, the Indigenous Anglican Bishop for Treaty 7, provides his own commentary about Annora’s art and writing in relation to the Blackfoot, while independent art curator Mary-Beth Laviolette broadens the story about the artist’s contribution to Canadian art. Also included in this new edition are full-colour images of Annora’s later paintings of Blackfoot lodges (tipis) and regalia, the dramatic landscape of the Oldman RIver region such as Waterton National Park, and her abiding, lifelong regard for the flora of her homeland. According to Annora Brown, Old Man’s Garden is a “book of gossip about the flowers of the West.” A one-of-a-kind work featuring 169 black-and-white drawings of flowers and native plants, this classic text is about more than botany. Throughout its pages there is a sparkle to her stories of early exploration and settlement, her concern for conservation, and her regard for the Blackfoot Nation, and Indigenous culture.
