- 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.

- Abstract
- "Canada's diverse landscape speaks to its fascinating geological history, from towering peaks to Prairie plains, from fertile farmlands of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Lowlands to rugged cliffs of the Atlantic shore. However, the modern landscape is just the latest episode in an epic story spanning more than 4 billion years. Four Billion Years and Counting unveils the geological history of Canada and makes connections between geology and social issues such as climate change, hazards such as landslides and earthquakes, and other environmental factors. The text features contributions from some 100 specialists, and is richly illustrated with over 500 colour photographs and diagrams. Four Billion Years and Counting is a fascinating exploration of Canada's geology for those who are intrigued by the landscape and the vital connection between ourselves and what lies beneath our feet."-- Publisher's website.

- Abstract
- This critical edition delivers a unique and comprehensive collection of the works of Ktunaxa-Secwepemc writer and educator Vera Manuel, daughter of prominent Indigenous leaders Marceline Paul and George Manuel. A vibrant force in the burgeoning Indigenous theatre scene, Vera was at the forefront of residential school writing and did groundbreaking work as a dramatherapist and healer. Long before mainstream Canada understood and discussed the impact and devastating legacy of Canada's Indian residential schools, Vera Manuel wrote about it as part of her personal and community healing. She became a grassroots leader addressing the need to bring to light the stories of survivors, their journeys of healing, and the therapeutic value of writing and performing arts. A collaboration by four Indigenous writers and scholars steeped in values of Indigenous ethics and editing practices, the volume features Manuel's most famous play, "Strength of Indian Women"--First performed in 1992 and still one of the most important literary works to deal with the trauma of residential schools-along with an assemblage of plays, written between the late 1980s until Manuel's untimely passing in 2010, that were performed but never before published. The volume also includes three previously unpublished short stories written in 1988, poetry written over three decades in a variety of venues, and a 1987 college essay that draws on family and community interviews on the effects of residential schools. -- Provided by publisher.

- Lee McLean was born to ride ... and to write. In these pages, you will enter the world of a master horsewoman and ride with her through the seasons of the year, and the ages and stages of life. The stories come from a riding journal kept for over forty-five years, and the best of her Keystone Equine blogs. Distilled into one year, but made up of many, they reflect a life lived in the saddle. As much about human nature as about horses, this book will become a resource you turn to, again and again. It offers sound technical advice, paired with storytelling, humour and the gift of healing. -- From inside cover

- Abstract
- In 1795 the Hudson's Bay Company established Edmonton House and the North West Company Fort Augustus a few kilometres downstream from the present day city of Edmonton. Although both posts were moved several times, they operated side by side as the major administrative, trade, and provisioning centres on the North Saskatchewan River from 1795 to 1821, when the companies merged. The post journals and district reports from Edmonton House for the period from 1806 to 1821 are reproduced verbatim in this volume. Long available only to researchers with access to the collections of the Hudson's Bay Company Archives, these journals and district reports provide a detailed day-by-day account of the operations of Edmonton House during this crucial period. They provide direct insight into the Aboriginal, social, and economic history of the region, and new information on the foundation of the Red River settlement adn the struggle for control of the trade in the Athabasca region. -- From back cover

- Abstract
- During the 1820s, Edmonton House re-emerged as the headquarters of a much larger Saskatchewan trading District of the Hudson's Bay Company. Its fur-gathering larger hinterland extended from the southern edges of the boreal forest near present-day Westlock, Alberta, south to the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers, and from the confluence of the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers west to the Rocky Mountains - in short, virtually all of what is now central and southern Alberta, and parts of Saskatchewan and Montana. [...] The Bow River Expedition, 1822-1823 Seeking to expand the fur trade more completely into what is now southern Alberta, and northern Montana, the Hudson's Bay Company dispatched an expedition of officers and men up the South Saskatchewan River in 1822, with excursions to the Red Deer, Bow, and Oldman Rivers. Through circumstances, such as hostilities by certain Aboriginal groups and the scarcity of timber, persuaded the Company not to build a permanent post during this time, the journal of the expedition contains a wealth of information about the land and the people living on it. --From back cover

- Abstract
- Iroquois principally from Caughnawaga, today's Kahnawa`:ke, were recruited now two centuries ago on a par with Whites to man the large canoes taking trade goods west from nearby Montreal, coming back with animal pelts. While some soon returned home, others stuck with the fur trade, yet others made their lives across the west so far as possible on their own terms. Their stories speak to Indigenous self-determination and self-sufficiency. The book tracks four Iroquois clusters or bands across time, place, and generations. Set down among Montana Flatheads, Iroquois responded to their host's desire for the Catholicism they brought with them from Quebec by four expeditions to St. Louis in search of a Jesuit missionary, who no sooner arrived than lost interest, leaving Iroquois once again to mentor their hosts. The fur trade's economic imbalance impelled a second group, whose words quite remarkably survive as they were spoken, to overturn the status quo to the advantage of employees, they themselves engaging the American west. A third group opted for the Pacific Northwest fur trade, those doing so on the American side of a border put in place in 1846 discovering their long service mattered for naught when they sought to settle among their White counterparts, those in British territory faring somewhat better. Repeatedly lauded in travelers' accounts, a fourth cluster was displaced on their homeland becoming Jasper National Park, again on their new locale an Alberta boom town, yet still today self-identify as Iroquois.

- Abstract
- Turn every walk into a game of detection. When writer and navigator Tristan Gooley journeys outside, he sees a natural world filled with clues. The roots of a tree indicate the sun's direction; the Big Dipper tells the time; a passing butterfly hints at the weather; a sand dune reveals prevailing wind; the scent of cinnamon suggests altitude; a budding flower points south. To help you understand nature as he does, Gooley shares more than 850 tips for forecasting, tracking, and more, gathered from decades spent walking the landscape around his home and around the world. Whether you're walking in the country or city, along a coastline, or by night, this is the ultimate resource on what the land, sun, moon, stars, plants, animals, and clouds can reveal - if you only know how to look!
