Published Date: 2011

Physical Description: [vii], 362 pages : facsimiles

Medium: Library - Book (including soft-cover and pamphlets)

Subjects: Newspapers; Canada; History; First Nations

Abstract: Seeing Red is a groundbreaking study of how Canadian English-language newspapers have portrayed Aboriginal peoples from 1869 to the present day. It assesses a wide range of publications on topics that include the sale of Rupert’s Land, the signing of Treaty 3, the North-West Rebellion and Louis Riel, the death of Pauline Johnson, the outing of Grey Owl, the discussions surrounding Bill C-31, the “Bended Elbow” standoff at Kenora, Ontario, and the Oka Crisis. The authors uncover overwhelming evidence that the colonial imaginary not only thrives, but dominates depictions of Aboriginal peoples in mainstream newspapers. The colonial constructs ingrained in the news media perpetuate an imagined Native inferiority that contributes significantly to the marginalization of Indigenous people in Canada. That such imagery persists to this day suggests strongly that our country lives in denial, failing to live up to its cultural mosaic boosterism. (from U of M Press website)

Publisher: Toronto : University of Toronto Press

Published Date: 2012

Physical Description: xviii, 198 pages : illustrations, maps

Medium: Library - Book (including soft-cover and pamphlets)

Subjects: Anthropology; First Nations; History; Archaeology

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.

Abstract: Canadians and the Natural Environment to the Twenty-First Century provides an ideal foundation for undergraduates and general readers on the history of Canada's complex environmental issues. Through clear, easy-to-understand case studies, Neil Forkey integrates the ongoing interplay of humans and the natural world into national, continental, and global contexts.

Canadians and the Natural Environment to the Twenty-First Century provides an accessible synthesis of the most important recent work in the field, making it a truly state-of-the-art contribution to Canadian environmental history (from publisher's website)

Physical Description: xiv, 303 pages ; 26 cm

Medium: Library - Book (including soft-cover and pamphlets)

Subjects: First Nations; History

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.

Contents: Prologue : Warm toast and porcupines -- Forget Columbus -- The end of the Trail -- Too heavy to lift -- One name to rule them all -- We are sorry -- Like cowboys and Indians -- Forget about it -- What Indians want -- As long as the grass is green -- Happy ever after.
