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.

Summary:
After a hunting trip one fall, a family in the far reaches of so-called Canada’s north return to nothing but an empty space where their home once stood. 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.

Summary:
Fruit d’une collaboration entre deux grands défenseurs des droits des Premières Nations, ce livre est d’abord le récit de près d’un demi-siècle de militantisme autochtone. 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.

Summary:
« J'adore regarder tourner la planète, voir l'eau se déverser dans la mer, oui, voir l'univers entier ! » Tulugaq veut partir à la découverte du monde et il veut aller loin. 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.

Summary:
This anthology by members of the Mohawk Warrior Society uncovers a hidden history and paints a bold portrait of the spectacular experience of Kanien'kehá:ka survival and self-defense. Providing extensive documentation, context, and analysis, the book features foundational writings by prolific visual artist and polemicist Louis Karoniaktajeh Hall (1918–1993)—such as his landmark 1979 pamphlet, The Warrior’s Handbook, as well as selections of his pioneering artwork. This book contains new oral history by key figures of the Rotisken'rhakéhte's revival in the 1970s, and tells the story of the Warriors’ famous flag, their armed occupation of Ganienkeh in 1974, and the role of their constitution, the Great Peace, in guiding their commitment to freedom and independence. We hear directly the story of how the Kanien'kehá:ka Longhouse became one the most militant resistance groups in North America, gaining international attention with the Oka Crisis of 1990. This auto-history of the Rotisken'rhakéhte is complemented by a Mohawk history timeline from colonization to the present, a glossary of Mohawk political philosophy, and a new map of Iroquoia in Mohawk language. At last, the Mohawk Warriors can tell their own story with their own voices, and to serve as an example and inspiration for future generations struggling against the environmental, cultural, and social devastation cast upon the modern world.
