Summary:
This volume showcases decolonizing projects which work to destable and disquiet colonial built environments. The land, towns, and cities on which we live have always been Indigenous places yet, for the most part our Indigenous value sets and identities have been disregarded or appropriated. Indigenous people continue to be gentrified out of the places to which they belong and neo-liberal systems work to continuously subjugate Indigenous involvement in decision-making processes in subtle, but potent ways. However, we are not, and have never been cultural dopes. Rather, we have, and continue to subvert the colonial value sets that overlay our places in important ways.

Summary:
In a world where artificial intelligence has and increasingly important place in our daily lives, and more and more of our time is spent on screens, what does "Living as Nature" mean anymore? We wanted to answer this question in a two eyed seeing approach, a term coined by Mi’kmaw elder Albert Marshall referring to seeing from one eye with strengths of Indigenous ways of(...)

Summary:
In a world where artificial intelligence has and increasingly important place in our daily lives, and more and more of our time is spent on screens, what does "Living as Nature" mean anymore? We wanted to answer this question in a two eyed seeing approach, a term coined by Mi’kmaw elder Albert Marshall referring to seeing from one eye with strengths of Indigenous ways of knowing, and from the other eye with the strengths of Western ways of knowing, and to use both of these eyes together to move forward. This can be seen through the pairing of Wendat values and the principles of the Montréal Declaration for a Responsible Development of Artificial Intelligence. We offer a mirrored reflection on this topic, from the perspectives of a researcher in AI for biodiversity conservation (Mélisande) and an Indigenous landscape architect (Carling): How can AI researchers working on applications in biodiversity reconcile Western science with Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing of "Living as Nature?"

Summary:
Qui était Zacharie Vincent, aussi connu, à l’époque, sous le nom de Tehariolin? Peu de gens le savent. Il s’agit pourtant d’une figure incontournable, considérée comme le premier peintre autochtone moderne. Le présent ouvrage, signé par l’historienne de l’art Louise Vigneault, lève donc le voile sur ce peintre et chef de guerre wendat, longtemps tombé dans l’oubli, qui a considérablement marqué le 19e siècle. Zacharie Vincent (1815-1886) a suscité la fascination, avec ses allures d’artiste bohème, sa dégaine de clochard mêlée à ses ornements d’apparat, la singularité de ses autoportraits. La légende entourant celui que l’on appelait le « dernier des Hurons » a attiré les regards sur la petite communauté de la Jeune-Lorette (aujourd’hui Wendake), pour ensuite révéler la fierté et la résilience du peuple wendat. Des peintres canadiens, tels Antoine Plamondon et Eugène Hamel, ont réalisé des portraits de Vincent, puis des photographes comme Louis-Prudent Vallée ont immortalisé son image.

Summary:
This volume is a gathering of Native North American contemporary artists, musicians, filmmakers, choreographers, architects, writers, photographers, designers and more. Conceived by Jeffrey Gibson, a renowned artist of Mississippi Choctaw and Cherokee descent, ''An Indigenous present'' presents an increasingly visible and expanding field of Indigenous creative practice. It centers individual practices, while acknowledging shared histories, to create a visual experience that foregrounds diverse approaches to concept, form and medium as well as connection, influence, conversation and collaboration. ''An Indigenous present'' foregrounds transculturalism over affiliation and contemporaneity over outmoded categories.

Summary:
This book celebrates art and culture within and beyond traditional Inuit and Sámi homelands in the Circumpolar Arctic — from the continuance of longstanding practices such as storytelling and skin sewing to the development of innovative new art forms such as throatboxing (a hybrid of traditional Inuit throat singing and beatboxing). In this illuminating publication, curators, scholars, artists, and activists from Inuit Nunangat, Kalaallit Nunaat, Sápmi, Canada, and Scandinavia address topics as diverse as Sámi rematriation and the revival of the ládjogahpir (a Sámi woman’s headgear), the experience of bringing Inuit stone carving to a workshop for inner-city youth, and the decolonizing potential of Traditional Knowledge and its role in contemporary design and beyond.

Summary:
Dans un contexte où la spéculation immobilière triomphe, où le droit au logement est sans cesse bafoué et l’accès à la terre de plus en plus difficile, la solution pourrait-elle nous venir des États-Unis sous la forme de ce qu’on appelle là-bas et en Europe les Community Land Trusts? Puisant leurs racines dans la tradition autochtone et la pratique ancestrale des terres communales (commons) de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, les fiducies foncières communautaires (FFC) visent à développer un mode de propriété qui protège la terre au bénéfice de ceux et de celles qui y vivent et qui l’exploitent, et non pas de ceux et de celles qui l’acquièrent dans le seul but de s’enrichir. Les textes regroupés dans le Manuel d’antispéculation immobilière définissent le modèle des FFC et fournissent des outils pour mettre en branle ce type d’initiatives qui allient propriété collective de la terre et propriété individuelle du patrimoine bâti, tout en favorisant la mise en commun des gains résultant de l’effort collectif. L’ouvrage est bonifié par un aperçu de ce qui se fait à l’heure actuelle en Belgique et en France.
