Rehearsals for living

Maynard, Robyn,


"A revolutionary collaboration about the world we're living in now, between two of our most important contemporary thinkers, writers and activists. When much of the world entered pandemic lockdown in spring 2020, Robyn Maynard, influential author of Policing Black Lives, and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, award-winning author of several books, including the recent novel Noopiming, began writing each other letters -- a gesture sparked by friendship and solidarity, and by a desire for kinship and connection in a world shattering under the intersecting crises of pandemic, police killings, and climate catastrophe. Their letters soon grew into a powerful exchange on the subject of where we go from here. Rehearsals is a captivating book, part debate, part dialogue, part lively and detailed familial correspondence between two razor-sharp writers convening on what it means to get free as the world spins into some new orbit. In a genre-defying exchange, the authors collectively envision the possibilities for more liberatory futures during a historic year of Indigenous land defense, prison strikes, and global-Black-led rebellions against policing. By articulating to each other Black and Indigenous perspectives on our unprecedented here and now, and the long-disavowed histories of slavery and colonization that have brought us to this moment in the first place, Maynard and Simpson create something new: a vital demand for a different way forward, and a poetic call to dream up new ways of ordering earthly life."--

Take Us To Your Chief : and Other Stories

Taylor, Drew Hayden, 1962-,


"A forgotten Haudenosaunee social song beams into the cosmos like a homing beacon for interstellar visitors. A computer learns to feel sadness and grief from the history of atrocities committed against First Nations. A young Native man discovers the secret to time travel in ancient petroglyphs. Drawing inspiration from science fiction legends like Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury, Drew Hayden Taylor frames classic science-fiction tropes in an Aboriginal perspective. The nine stories in this collection span all traditional topics of science fiction--from peaceful aliens to hostile invaders; from space travel to time travel; from government conspiracies to connections across generations. Yet Taylor's First Nations perspective draws fresh parallels, likening the cultural implications of alien contact to those of the arrival of Europeans in the Americas, or highlighting the impossibility of remaining a "good Native" in such an unnatural situation as a space mission. Infused with Native stories and variously mysterious, magical and humorous, Take Us to Your Chief is the perfect mesh of nostalgically 1950s-esque science fiction with modern First Nations discourse."--

From The Ashes

Thistle, Jesse


Abandoned by his parents as a toddler, Jesse Thistle briefly found himself in the foster care system with his two brothers, cut off from all they had known. Eventually the children landed in the home of their paternal grandparents, whose tough-love attitudes quickly resulted in conflicts. Throughout it all, the ghost of Jesse's drug-addicted father haunted all the halls of the house and the memories of every family member. Struggling with all that had happened, Jessa succumbed to a self destructive cycle of drug and alcohol addiction and petty crime, spending more than a decade on and off the streets. Finally he realized he would die if he did not turn his life around. In this heartwarming and heart-wrenching memoir, Thistle writes honestly and fearlessly about his painful past, the abuse he endured, and how he uncovered the truth about his parents. Through sheer perseverance and education--and newfound love--he found his way back into the circle of his indigenous culture and family. An eloquent exploration of the impact of prejudice and racism, From The Ashes, iin the end, about how love and support can help us find happiness despite the odds.

Beads to Buckskins : Introducing Color and Beadwork Designs in Tribal Identity and Meaning. Quill Work with Illustrated Instructions. New Techniques on Beaded Earrings. Highlighting on Tambour Beading and Single Strand Necklace Weave. New Ideas in Graphed and Appliqueed Patterns.

Henry, Peggy Sue


The revival of interest in handicraft, especially beadwork has been a natural reaction to the impersonal products of highly developed machinery and it will prove to be a creative means of self expression for the constructive use of the leisure hours. Beadwork of all the handicrafts holds special claims on the interest of men and women all over North America and perhaps the world, because of the simplicity of the techniques and the inexpensive cost of the necessary materials. It is a quiet hobby and therefore of a non-irritating nature. It offers a great outlet for stress and hypertension. At the same time it allows for individual artistic expression in creating articles of beauty and value. You don't have to have any previous knowledge or special ability to learn beadwork. The directions are given simply and clearly with step by step illustrated instructions for easy to follow techniques and patterns. I have tried to present the techniques as though I were personally giving instruction in a beading class. Once you grasp the basic fundamentals the rest will fall in place. There are dozen's of patterns shown in each volume of Beads to Buckskins. Some are designed to stimulate your own constructive imagination. Just ass your color preference and give life to your own creative fancy.

Trail of Tears - The Rise and Fall of the Cherokee Nation

Ehle, John


A sixth-generation North Carolinian, highly-acclaimed author John Ehle grew up on former Cherokee hunting grounds. His experience as an accomplished novelist, combined with his extensive, meticulous research, culminates in this moving tragedy rich with historical detail. The Cherokee are a proud, ancient civilization. For hundreds of years they believed themselves to be the "Principle People" residing at the center of the earth. But by the 18th century, some of their leaders believed it was necessary to adapt to European ways in order to survive. Those chiefs sealed the fate of their tribes in 1875 when they signed a treaty relinquishing their land east of the Mississippi in return for promises of wealth and better land. The U.S. government used the treaty to justify the eviction of the Cherokee nation in an exodus that the Cherokee will forever remember as the “trail where they cried.” The heroism and nobility of the Cherokee shine through this intricate story of American politics, ambition, and greed.

Ojibwe Discourse Markers

Fairbanks, Brendan


Brendan Fairbanks examines the challenging subject of discourse markers in Ojibwe, one of the many indigenous languages in the Algonquian family. Mille Lacs elder Jim Clark once described the discourse markers as "little bugs that are holding on for dear life." For example, discourse markers such as mii and gosha exist only on the periphery of sentences to provide either cohesion or nuance to utterances. Fairbanks focuses on the discourse markers that are the most ubiquitous and that exist most commonly within Ojibwe texts. Much of the research on Algonquian languages has concentrated primarily on the core morphological and syntactical characteristics of their sentence structure. Fairbanks restricts his study to markers that are far more elusive and difficult in terms of semantic ambiguity and their contribution to sentences and Ojibwe discourse. Ojibwe Discourse Markers is a remarkable study that interprets and describes the Ojibwe language in its broader theoretical concerns in the field of linguistics. With a scholarly and pedagogical introductory chapter and a glossary of technical terms, this book will be useful to instructors and students of Ojibwe as a second language in language revival and maintenance programs.
