Some important questions are raised that challenge educators to think in very different ways about things as fundamental as the meaning of knowledge. In this edition the following changes are: revision of the four branches of environmental inquiry; the addition of Indigenous lenses on each of the branches; and 16 new educator stories.  This resource offers educators a powerful way to engage their students in learning about their world. It provides a framework for environmental inquiry shaped by students’ questions and theories – their natural curiosity – as they explore their environment. The framework encourages educators to find their own ways to build upon children’s sense of wonder and to create a culture of community learning that is purposeful, responsive, and deeply engaging. Written for educators from primary to junior levels in Ontario schools. Highly recommended.

Beginning with Christopher Columbus's inception of a New World Order in 1492, Anthony Hall draws on a massive body of original research to produce a narrative that is audacious, encyclopedic, and transformative in the new light it sheds on the complex historical processes that converged in the financial debacle of 2008 and 2009. Bridging huge expanses of chronology and geography, character and circumstance, Hall explores multiple motifs of globalization through a wide array of interpretive lenses. In the process the author brings fresh perspectives to our understanding of empire builders like Magellan, John Jacob Astor, Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Ford, and Adolf Hitler. Hall balances his history of imperial globalization with an attentive focus on the prophets and proponents of decolonization, from Tecumseh to Martin Luther King Jr., from Gandhi to Nelson Mandela, to Sitting Bull and Splitting The Sky. With the dismantling of the formal empires of Europe after the Second World War, the US corporate state moved to fill the vacuum of power. Hall shows that the US government, in seeking to replicate its role in the Cold war by mounting the Global War on Terror, is extending trajectories of conquest that began with invasions of Indian nations to further the expansionary course of American Empire.","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167511326883,"sku":"mwf1789916328767","price":20.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/earth-into-property-the-bowl-with-one-spoon-part-two_1.jpg?v=1789916332"},{"product_id":"the-legend-of-the-lady-slipper","title":"The Legend of the Lady Slipper","description":"The Legend of the Lady Slipper: An Ojibwe Tale is a well-researched children's book that retells a traditional Ojibwe legend about the creation of the spring flower known as the Lady Slipper. The story is set long ago in the northern woods of Minnesota where there was an Ojibwe village. A young girl lived with extended family in this village. One winter the people of the village slowly succumbed to a terrible illness. One by one the villagers fell ill until only the young girl remained healthy. Fortunately they knew a neighbouring village had a healing herb but everyone was too ill to travel. The young girl told her family that she would go. In the heart of winter the girl set out and finally made it through a blizzard to the neighbouring village. There the community assisted her and provided the needed medicine. The girl set out for home immediately and found herself in deep snow drifts. Her knowledge of forest travel made her think of how animals free themselves from drifts. She was successful but in the process lost her warm rabbit fur-lined moccasins in the snow. Thinking only of her family the girl plunged on through the night. Cold and exhausted she stumbled over the icy snow crystals barefoot. Despite the pain the girl reached the village. Behind her was a blood-stained trail of her footprints. But her family and the other villagers welcomed the girl and the medicine. In the spring all had recovered and the girl and her brother went out to the forest to locate the girl's lost moccasins. In the spot where she lost the moccasins and along her trail grew wondrous and beautiful flowers. The dainty flowers were pink and white and looked exactly like the moccasins the girl had worn. This flower was called the moccasin flower by the Ojibwe people. Today it is known as the Lady Slipper. These delicate spring flowers remind us the courage and strength of a young Ojibwe girl who brought healing to her village. The story is illustrated in stylized and brightly coloured images. Some of the designs reflect Woodland floral beadwork although distinctive tribal clothing and setting are less clear. This is an excellent retelling of a traditional legend where the author has identified the original sources and also incorporates Ojibwe terms throughout the story.  Reading Level: \u003cspan id=\"at-rcrl\"\u003e3.9\u003c\/span\u003e; ATOS Reading Level: 4.6; Lexile Measure: 610; K-3.

Drawing upon the archaeological context, the ethnography presented by early explorers and missionaries, and the recorded history of contact with Europeans, Bruce Trigger traces the development of the Huron (Wendat) people from the earliest hunting and gathering economies in southern Ontario, many centuries before the arrival of the Europeans, to their key role in the fur trade in eastern Canada during the first half of the seventeenth century. Trigger's work integrates insights from archaeology, history, ethnology, linguistics, and geography. He argues convincingly that the European impact upon Indigenous cultures cannot be correctly assessed unless the nature and extent of precontact change is understood. His study not only stands Euro-American stereotypes and fictions on their heads, but forcefully and consistently interprets European and Indigenous actions, thoughts, and motives from the perspective of the Wendat culture. The Children of Aataentsic revises widely accepted interpretations of Indigenous behaviour and challenges cherished myths about the actions of some celebrated Europeans during the so-called heroic age of Canadian history.

In Maps of Experience, Andie Diane Palmer draws on stories recorded during travels through Secwepemc (Shuswap) hunting and gathering territory with members of the Alkali Lake Reserve in Interior British Columbia. Palmer examines how the various kinds of talk allow knowledge to be carried forward, reconstituted, reflected upon, enriched, and ultimately relocated by and for new interlocutors in new experiences and places. Maps of Experience demonstrates how the Secwepemc engagement in the traditional practices of hunting and gathering create shared lived experiences between individuals, while recreating a known social context in which existing knowledge of the land may be effectively shared and acted upon. When the narratives of fellow travellers are pooled through discursive exchange, they serve as what can be considered a 'map of experience,' providing the basis of shared understanding and social relationship to territory.

First Nations are facing some of the worst water crises in Canada and throughout North America. Their widespread lack of access to safe drinking water receives ongoing national media attention, yet progress addressing the causes of the problem is painfully slow. First Nations have had little say in how their waters are, or are not, protected. They have been excluded from many important decisions, as provinces operate under the view that they own the water resources within provincial boundaries, and the federal government takes a hands-off approach. The demands for access to waters that First Nations depend upon are intense and growing. Oil and gas, mining, ranching, farming and hydro-development all require enormous quantities of water, and each brings its own set of negative impacts to the rivers, lakes and groundwater sources that are critical to First Nations. Climate change threatens to make matters even worse. Over the last 30 years, the courts have clarified that First Nations have numerous rights to land and resources, including the right to be involved in decision-making.

Traditional stories about creation, geography, plants, animals, medicines, and Nanabosho, the Trickster are connected through the narrative of the book.

Sacred places identified by First Nations have a deep symbolism and spiritual as well as physical significance for the culture. Canadian courts have been asked to make judgments about the fairness of a First Nation's claim to a sacred site and to protect that site for the First Nation. The author identified two strategies, the Meares and the Haida, as legal methods employed by First Nations to protect their sacred site from desecration and destruction. Here the author finds that the courts failed miserably. He offers some ways the Canadian courts can improve their treatment of sacred places belonging to First Nations in the final chapter.

Now in its 12 printing, A Salmon for Simon tells the story of a Native boy living along the Pacific Northwest Coast. His community depends upon the salmon, and Simon spends all summer trying out his new fishing pole trying to catch one of the magnificent fish. Along the coast the salmon return from the ocean trying to locate the rivers and streams where they were born. Now September has arrived and all summer long Simon failed to catch a single salmon. One day he and his sisters were out digging for clams. Simon decided that he would linger a bit longer in hopes of catching a salmon. Simon saw all kinds of sea creatures but not a single salmon. Simon had almost given up trying when he noticed an eagle soaring overhead. Suddenly something fell from the eagle's talons. The object landed in the place where Simon was digging for clams. He immediately recognized the fallen prey as a huge salmon. The fish was still alive as it struggled to find a way out of the clam hole. Simon thought about taking the fish home for supper but suddenly noticed its beauty and strength. Simon knew he could not kill the fish and he had to help the fish in finding its way back to the ocean. He thought about carrying the fish to the water but knew it was too heavy and slippery. Then he thought he could dig a trench in the sand from the clam hole out to the sea. Simon began to dig. All afternoon he dug the trench and finally just as night fell Simon had made the long trench to the water. The trench filled with ocean saltwater and the fish wiggled to life. The salmon made its way along the water-filled trench to the freedom of the ocean. Simon was pleased when the fish reached the saltwater. He knew that he had done the right thing and was glad that the salmon returned to its home. The gentle story is illustrated by Ann Blades who won the Governor General's Literary Award for the drawings in this book. This book introduces young readers to the cycle of salmon in an interesting way. The book deals with Simon's feelings and how he took responsibility for helping the fish. Simon used problem solving and persistence when he dug the trench for the fish. A Salmon for Simon is an excellent way for teachers to introduce discussions about the seashore environment and First Nations.

The Archaeology of Native-Lived Colonialism convincingly utilizes historical archaeology to link the First Nations experience of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to the deeper history of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century interactions and with pre-European times. It shows how these communities succeeded in retaining cohesiveness through centuries of foreign influence and material innovations by maintaining ancient, adaptive social processes that both incorporated European ideas and reinforced historically understood notions of self and community. In reconsidering adaptation and resistance to colonial British rule, Ferris reviews five centuries of interaction that are usually read as a single event viewed through the lens of historical bias. He first examines patterns of traditional lifeway continuity among the Ojibwe, demonstrating their ability to maintain seasonal mobility up to the mid-nineteenth century and their adaptive response to its loss. He then looks at the experience of refugee Delawares, who settled among the Ojibwe as a missionary-sponsored community yet managed to maintain an identity distinct from missionary influences. And he shows how the archaeological history of the Six Nations Iroquois reflected patterns of negotiating emergent colonialism when they returned to the region in the 1780s, exploring how families managed tradition and the contemporary colonial world to develop innovative ways of revising and maintaining identity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The University of Arizona Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167628406947,"sku":"hvm1789917692670","price":19.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/the-archaeology-of-native-lived-colonialism_1.jpg?v=1789917696"},{"product_id":"listening-to-our-ancestors","title":"Listening to Our Ancestors","description":"Listening to Our Ancestors: The Art of Native Life Along the North Pacific Coast is a co-publication from the National Museum of the American Indian and the National Geographic Society.

Hunter with Harpoon is translated by Valerie Henitiuk, translation studies specialist, and Marc-Antoine Mahieu, a professor of Inuktitut. Hunter with Harpoon was first published fifty years ago under the title Harpoon of the Hunter. Markoosie Patsauq's novel helped establish the genre of Indigenous fiction in Canada. This new English translation unfolds the story of Kamik, a young hero who comes to manhood while on a perilous hunt for a wounded polar bear. In this astonishing tale of a people struggling for survival in a brutal environment, Patsauq describes a life in the Canadian Arctic as one that is reliant on cooperation and vigilance. In collaboration with the author, Valerie Henitiuk and Marc-Antoine Mahieu return to the original Inuktitut text to provide English readers with a more accurate translation. With a preface by Patsauq and an afterword from the translators, this edition offers a fresh and contextualized interpretation of a cultural milestone. Whether revisiting this classic or discovering it for the first time, readers will find in Hunter with Harpoon a sophisticated coming-of-age tale illustrating a way of life not as it appeared to southerners, but as it has survived in the memory of the Inuit themselves.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"MQUP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167763312803,"sku":"xno1789918354909","price":10.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/hunter-with-harpoon_1.jpg?v=1789918359"},{"product_id":"perspectives-on-globalization","title":"Perspectives on Globalization","description":"\u003cp\u003ePerspectives on Globalization explores the origins of globalization, the implications of economic globalization, and the impact of globalization on lands, cultures, human rights, and quality of life.

Dammed explores Canada’s hydroelectric boom in the Lake of the Woods area. It complicates narratives of increasing affluence in postwar Canada, revealing that the inverse was true for Indigenous communities along the Winnipeg River. \"Dammed\" makes clear that hydroelectric generating stations were designed to serve settler populations. Governments and developers excluded the Anishinabeg from planning and operations and failed to consider how power production might influence the health and economy of their communities. By so doing, Canada and Ontario thwarted a future that aligned with the terms of treaty, a future in which both settlers and the Anishinabeg might thrive in shared territories. The same hydroelectric development that powered settler communities flooded manomin fields, washed away roads, and compromised fish populations. Anishinaabe families responded creatively to manage the government-sanctioned environmental change and survive the resulting economic loss. Luby reveals these responses to dam development, inviting readers to consider how resistance might be expressed by individuals and families, and across gendered and generational lines. Luby weaves text, testimony, and experience together, grounding this historical work in the territory of her paternal ancestors, lands she calls home. With evidence drawn from archival material, oral history, and environmental observation, \"Dammed\" invites readers to confront Canadian colonialism in the twentieth century.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","brand":"University of Manitoba Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167941963939,"sku":"iyw1789919045430","price":14.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/dammed-the-politics-of-loss-and-survival-in-anishinaabe-territory_1.jpg?v=1789919049"},{"product_id":"be-of-good-mind-hc","title":"Be Of Good Mind (HC)","description":"Be Of Good Mind: Essays on the Coast Salish is a collection of 10 essays that discuss and explore the peoples of the Coast Salish and how their cultural traditions continue in spite of years of contact.
