Norval Morrisseau : Man Changing Into Thunderbird

Ruffo, Armand Garnet, 1955-


Includes index. In Norval Morrisseau: Man Changing Into Thunderbird, Ruffo draws upon years of extensive research, including interviews with Morrisseau himself, to recollect the artist’s life in all its triumphs and tragedies: his first solo and breakthrough exhibition at the Pollock Gallery in Toronto; his legendary “Garden Party” where he and his agent Jack Pollock flew a coterie of critics and patrons from Toronto to remote Beardmore for an afternoon tea party. Here too is Morrisseau’s heart-wrenching battle with alcoholism, then Parkinson’s disease, and exultant “Shaman’s Return” to national status in the Canadian art scene and his solo show at The National Gallery of Canada. Armand Garnet Ruffo draws upon his own Ojibway heritage and experiences to provide insight into Morrisseau’s life and iconography in this brilliantly creative evocation of the art and life of Norval Morrisseau, a life indelibly tied to art.

Taking Care of Our Own : Dakota Ojibway and Family Services.

Heinrichs, Marj, 1956-


Co-published by Dakota Ojibway Child and Family Services. "Taking Care of Our Own" A history and celebration of Dakota Ojibway Child and Family Services, the first First Nations Agency mandated to deliver a full range of child and family services in Canada. From the injustices of colonialism, the ravages of residential school and the horrors of the Scoop of the 1960s and 70s, in which thousands of First Nations children were sent to the United States for adoption, a determination was born in the Dakota and Ojibway people of Southern Manitoba that they could and must take charge of their own families and children. The battle to do so was a long and difficult one, waged on every level of government and in both private and public venues for over a decade. It was ultimately successful. On July 1st, 1981, Dakota Ojibway Child and Family Services received its mandate to provide social services to the communities of the Dakota Ojibway Tribal Council. The decades that have passed since then have been marked by learning, hope and continued determination that colonial history will not repeat itself. Instead, the proud history and culture of the Dakota and Ojibway people is being renewed, providing the principles which govern DOCFS today.

The Last Algonquin

Kazimiroff, Theodore L.


As recently as 1924, a lone Algonquin Indian lived quietly in Pelham Bay Park, a wild and isolated corner of New York City. Joe Two Trees was the last of his people, and this is the gripping story of his bitter struggle, remarkable courage, and constant quest for dignity and peace. By the 1840s, most of the members of Joe's Turtle Clan had either been killed or sold into slavery, and by the age of thirteen he was alone in the world. He made his way into Manhattan, but was forced to flee after killing a robber in self defense; from there, he found backbreaking work in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Finally, around the time of the Civil War, Joe realized there was no place for him in the White world, and he returned to his birthplace to live out his life alone-suspended between a lost culture and an alien one. Many years later, as an old man, he entrusted his legacy to the young Boy Scout who became his only friend, and here that young boy's son passes it on to us. Theodore Kazimiroff, the son of Joe Two Trees' young confidant, writes historical, environmental, and natural history articles for several magazines. He lives in Bayville, New York.

Loyal till Death : Indians and the North-West Rebellion

Stonechild, Blair


This startling retelling of the North-West Rebellion explodes the myth of a grand Indian-Metis alliance and delves into the reasons why Indians have been branded as traitors and rebels in both the public imagination and official records. After the rebellion, twenty-eight reserves were officially identified as disloyal, and more than fifty Indians - including Poundmaker and Big Bear - were convicted of rebellion-related crimes. The most damning event was the mass execution of eight Indian warriors at Fort Battleford in November 1885. But Indian elders have long told stories about how First Nations remained faithful to their treaty promises during the conflict. Having their own peaceful strategies for dealing with an insensitive federal government, they were not interested in Riel's activities, and any Indian involvement was isolated, sporadic, and minimal. But Ottawa deliberately portrayed the Indians as outlaws to justify increasingly restrictive and repressive measures, an injustice that has left a lasting legacy with First Nations people. Loyal till Death is the first comprehensive look at the Indian version of the North-West Rebellion. It brings to life many personalities - particularly those of the Indian leaders, whose voices have seldom been heard in conventional histories of the Canadian West. Combining oral history and exhaustive research, and illustrated with more than one hundred archival photographs, the book sheds new light on a greatly misunderstood aspect of our past.

The Potlatch Papers

Bracken, Christopher


Variously described as an exchange of gifts, a destruction of property, a system of banking, and a struggle for prestige, the potlatch is one of the founding concepts of anthropology. Some researchers even claim to have discovered traces of the potlatch in all the economies of the world. However, as Christopher Bracken shows in this elegantly argued work, the potlatch was in fact invented by the nineteenth-century Canadian law that sought to destroy it. In addition to giving the world its own potlatch, the law also generated a random collection of “potlatch papers” dating from the 1860s to the 1930s. Bracken meticulously analyzes these documents—some canonical, like Franz Boas’s ethnographies, others unpublished and little known—to catch a colonialist discourse in the act of constructing fictions about certain First Nations and then deploying those fictions against them. Rather than referring to objects that already exist, the “potlatch papers” instead gave themselves something to refer to; a mirror in which to observe not “the Indian,” but “the European.”.

Three Feathers

Van Camp, Richard

There, the young men learn to take responsibility for their actions and acquire the humility required to return home. But will they be forgiven for what they have done? Three Feathers explores the power and grace of restorative justice in one Northern Indigenous community and the cultural legacy that can empower future generations.
