Summary:
"Words of the Inuit" is an important compendium of Inuit culture illustrated through Inuit words. It brings the sum of the author’s decades of experience and engagement with Inuit and Inuktitut to bear on what he fashions as an amiable, leisurely stroll through words and meanings. Inuit words are often more complex than English words and frequently contain small units of meaning that add up to convey a larger sensibility. Dorais’ lexical and semantic analyses and reconstructions are not overly technical, yet they reliably evince connections and underlying significations that allow for an in-depth reflection on the richness of Inuit linguistic and cultural heritage and identity. An appendix on the polysynthetic character of Inuit languages includes more detailed grammatical description of interest to more specialist readers. Organized thematically, the book tours the histories and meanings of the words to illuminate numerous aspects of Inuit culture, including environment and the land; animals and subsistence activities; humans and spirits; family, kinship, and naming; the human body; and socializing with other people in the contemporary world. It concludes with a reflection on the usefulness for modern Inuit- especially youth and others looking to strengthen their cultural identity- to know about the underlying meanings embedded in their language and culture. With recent reports alerting us to the declining use of the Inuit language in the North, "Words of the Inuit" is a timely contribution to understanding one of the world’s most resilient Indigenous languages.

Summary:
In 2015, writer and journalist Paul Seesequasis found himself grappling with the devastating findings of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission report on the residential school system. He sought understanding and inspiration in the stories of his mother, herself a residential school survivor. Gradually, Paul realized that another, mostly untold history existed alongside the official one: that of how Indigenous peoples and communities had held together during even the most difficult times. He embarked on a social media project to collect archival photos capturing everyday life in First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities from the 1920s through the 1970s. As he scoured archives and libraries, Paul uncovered a trove of candid images and began to post these on social media, where they sparked an extraordinary reaction. Friends and relatives of the individuals in the photographs commented online, and through this dialogue, rich histories came to light for the first time. ''Blanket toss under midnight sun'' collects some of the most arresting images and stories from Paul's project. While many of the photographs live in public archives, most have never been shown to the people in the communities they represent. As such, ''Blanket Toss'' is not only an invaluable historical record, it is a meaningful act of reclamation, showing the ongoing resilience of Indigenous communities, past, present--and future.

Summary:
In this volume, Lisa E. Bloom considers the ways artists, filmmakers, and activists engaged with the Arctic and Antarctic to represent our current environmental crises and reconstruct public understandings of them. Bloom engages feminist, Black, Indigenous, and non-Western perspectives to address the exigencies of the experience of the Anthropocene and its attendant ecosystem failures, rising sea levels, and climate-led migrations. As opposed to mainstream media depictions of climate change that feature apocalyptic spectacles of distant melting ice and desperate polar bears, artists such as Katja Aglert, Subhankar Banerjee, Joyce Campbell, Judit Hersko, Roni Horn, Isaac Julien, Zacharias Kunuk, Connie Samaras, and activist art collectives take a more complex poetic and political approach. Bloom’s examination and contextualization of new polar aesthetics makes environmental degradation more legible while demonstrating that our own political agency is central to imagining and constructing a better world.

Finding themselves suddenly homeless, they have no choice but to assimilate into settler-colonial society in a mining town that has encroached on their freedom.This intergenerational coming-of-age novel follows Ko`, a Dene man who grew up entirely on the land before being taken to residential school. When he finally returns home, he struggles to connect with his family: his younger brother whom he has never met, his mother because he has lost his language, and an absent father whose disappearance he is too afraid to question. The third book from acclaimed Dene, Cree and Metis writer Katlià, this is a fictional story based on true events, presenting a clear trajectory of how settlers dispossessed Indigenous Peoples of their land — and how Indigenous communities, with dignity and resilience, continue to live and honour their culture, values, inherent knowledge systems, and Indigenous rights towards re-establishing sovereignty.

Il retrace le parcours personnel et militant d’Arthur Manuel et dresse du même souffle le portrait du renouveau des mouvements de lutte autochtone au pays depuis les années 1970. De la Paix des Braves à la Déclaration des Nations unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones, en passant par le rapatriement de la Constitution et les importants jugements de la Cour suprême, cet ouvrage revisite de grands pans de l’histoire canadienne récente. Pour Manuel, la reconnaissance des droits autochtones est le meilleur gage pour assurer la défense de nos territoires devant l’appétit vorace des intérêts privés qui cherchent à faire main basse sur nos ressources naturelles. Dans l’esprit du mouvement Idle No More, il invite aussi à en finir avec l’apathie et l’inaction qui ont caractérisé les relations entre le gouvernement fédéral et les Autochtones. Ce livre est un vibrant appel à la résistance, mais aussi un message d’ouverture invitant à bâtir des ponts entre les communautés autochtones et allochtones.

Ça ne lui suffit plus de juste voler au-dessus du terrain de jeu et autour de la maison d'Asiaq. Et même s'il a toujours vécu au Groenland, jamais il n'a vu l'inlandsis. Alors, il décide de mettre le cap sur ce grand désert blanc, même si l'idée l'effraie un peu. Les langues autochtones sont un formidable réservoir d'idées et de concepts qui peuvent aider l'humanité à imaginer des manières durables d'interagir avec le reste du monde vivant, et ainsi trouver une voie pour survivre. Sila, Sedna et nuna témoignent par leur complexité de la richesse et de l'unité des cultures inuites autour du pôle : nuna, la territorialité ; sila, la source de tout mouvement et de tout changement ; Sedna, la mère de la mer, coeur d'une mythologie et d'une cosmogonie incroyablement étendues et adaptées aux temps nouveaux. Ces concepts liés, difficilement traduisibles dans les langues occidentales, ramènent les humains au sein d'un tout où ils n'occupent plus le centre du monde, comme le démontre le présent « conte sur les changements climatiques », écrit par la Groenlandaise Lana Hansen.

Summary:
Originally published in 1974, this book is a critical work of Indigenous political activism that has long been out of print. George Manuel, a leader in the North American Indian movement at that time, with coauthor journalist Michael Posluns, presents a rich historical document that traces the struggle for Indigenous survival as a nation, a culture, and a reality. The authors shed light on alternatives for coexistence that would take place in the Fourth World—an alternative to the new world, the old world, and the Third World. Manuel was the first to develop this concept of the “fourth world” to describe the place occupied by Indigenous nations within colonial nation-states. Accompanied by a new introduction and afterword, this book is as poignant and provocative today as it was when first published.
