The storyteller explains the significance of the Mimigwesseos or the little people. These little people posses healing powers and they live in rock caves near bodies of water. Adam Ballantyne explains that he has heard many stories about the little people and their interactions with people. In one story he recounts how his wife's grandfather often travelled by canoe down the Saskatchewan River and when he approached a cliff he heard someone talking inside the rock. When he checked his fishing nets, he found that someone had taken the fish and torn the nets. On this occasion, the fisherman saw the little people in a tiny stone canoe nearby. Adam Ballantyne tells of other encounters between humans and the little people. From these stories, the reader learns about the characteristics and healing powers of the Mimigwesseos.

This Métis historian uses an interdisciplinary approach to tell the story of Aboriginal Peoples in what became known as Canada. She describes the richness, variety and complexity of 57 founding First Nations. The coming of Europeans and the impact on the traditional societies are described and analyzed. Dickason examines the role of government and its relationship with Aboriginal People during the 19th and 20th centuries. While she explores the larger context of Indian-White relations, Dickason identifies key people such as Pontiac, Membertou, Tecumseh, Big Bear, Abe Opik and Elijah Harper who have responded to colonialism with political sophistication. Part Five of this sweeping history examines the contemporary issues surrounding land claims, self-government and economic development. This newly revised edition contains 20 additional photographs, undated information on issues such as land claims and disputes, and an appendix listing National Historic Sites Commemorating Aboriginal History in Canada. Another valuable addition is the inclusion of a time line at the beginning of each chapter. Topics receiving new treatment include residential schools, Burnt Church, Nunavut, Davis Inlet, Bill C-31, Métis hunting rights, child welfare, and Indian Act revisions. The new layout and additional information make this edition a valuable resource for Native Studies. This newly revised fourth edition contains a new chapter by Métis historian David McNab.

In November 1965, Violet has just turned twelve and writes brief diary entries about living in this foreign village that does not celebrate Christmas. New challenges present themselves for Violet to overcome. An unfriendly black dog harasses her everyday she walks to school; and there are surprises such as the friendship with an older Ojibwe teen who is currently attending residential school. Next year Violet will be attending the same residential school. Violet hears about all the rules at this school and wonders about her future. Violet's grandma serves as a midwife for the small village and is called away one winter night to assist with a premature birth. Violet shops with her grandma; helps gather in wood for the stove; and goes ice fishing. The simple life of this railway village is enlivened when the railroad worker's family moves into the village. The eldest daughter is Violet's age and the two become friends. Violet learns a meaningful lessen about inequality of income in the final scene of the short story and comes to the realization that life can be somewhat complicated. This Winter with Grandma story is a fine example of Ruby Slipperjack's skill in presenting a young woman's perspective through the diary entries rather than simply telling readers about the reality of northern Ontario life in the 1960s. The book is richer for the inclusion of a First Nation perspective in the collection.","brand":"Scholastic Canada Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48168121270435,"sku":"tmj1789919924434","price":5.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/dear-canada-a-time-for-giving_1.jpg?v=1789919929"},{"product_id":"crow-winter","title":"Crow Winter","description":"Crow Winter by Karen McBride, Algonquin Anishinaabe from Timiskaming First Nation in the territory that is now known as Quebec, is a story about trickster and Hazel Ellis.

Part Ojibwe and part white, River lives with her white mother and stepfather on a farm in Ontario. Teased about her Indigenous heritage as a young girl, she feels like she doesn't belong and struggles with her identity. Now eighteen and just finished high school, River travels to Winnipeg to spend the summer with her Indigenous father and grandmother, where she sees firsthand what it means to be an \"urban Indian.\" On her family's nearby reserve, she learns more than she expects about the lives of Indigenous people, including the presence of Indigenous gangs and the multi-generational effects of the residential school system. But River also discovers a deep respect for and connection with the land and her cultural traditions. The highlight of her summer is attending the annual powwow with her new friends. At the powwow after party, however, River drinks too much and posts photos online that anger people and she has her right to identify as an Indigenous person called into question.

When Orca Chief discovers what the hunters have done, he sends his most powerful orca warriors to bring the men and their boat to his house. The men beg forgiveness for their ignorance and lack of respect, and Orca Chief compassionately sends them out with his pod to show them how to sustainably harvest the ocean's resources.

Paul Wahasaypa—Siha Tooskin—has learned many important lessons in his upbringing: build a strong mind (stay true to your values), keep a strong heart (show love for all forms of life), and maintain a strong spirit (practise humility, kindness, understanding, and forgiveness). These are the teachings from Ena (his mom) and Ade (his dad) but even Siha Tooskin needs a refresher from time to time. Starting at a new school can be hard, especially when the kids there have never experienced the values, culture, and teachings of the Nakota people. Join Paul as Mitoshin (his grandfather) helps remind him how strength of character can be found in the strength of his hair. The Siha Tooskin Knows series uses vivid narratives and dazzling illustrations in contemporary settings to share stories about an 11-year-old Nakota boy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HighWater Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48168206368931,"sku":"klg1789920646096","price":5.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/siha-tooskin-knows---the-strength-of-his-hair_1.jpg?v=1789920650"},{"product_id":"siha-tooskin-knows-the-catcher-of-dreams","title":"Siha Tooskin Knows - The Catcher of Dreams","description":"\u003cp\u003eSiha Tooskin Knows the Catcher of Dreams is part of the Siha Tooskin Knows early chapter book series by Charlene Bearhead, Wilson Bearhead, a Nakota Elder and Wabamun Lake First Nation community member in central Alberta (Treaty 6 territory) and the recent recipient of the Canadian Teachers’ Federation Indigenous Elder Award; and illustrated by Chloe Bluebird Mustooch, of Alexis Nakoda Sioux Nation of Northern Alberta.

Migizi loves his Gookom. And he wants to find the best gift for his grandmother or Gookom who is currently in hospital. He knows Gookom's gift has to be perfect, and it has to be as sweet as her kisses. So he thinks of all the options: maybe he can pick some roses he saw in the park; maybe he could buy her a pair of earrings at the store; maybe he could cook her favourite roast dinner; or maybe he could paint her a picture. Migizi finds out he can't pick roses from the park, and he doesn't have any money to buy the earrings, and he only has crayons so he can't paint the best picture. Can he find the perfect gift to show Gookom how much he loves her? Just in time, the boy remembers what his Gookom loves the most. And so when he sees her at the hospital he gives her the biggest hug ever. Now Gookom is happy and so is Migizi.
