Download or read book America's Yesteryears written by James A. Crutchfield and published by J. Crutchfield Publishers. This book was released on 2007-02 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award winning historical writer James A. Crutchfield chronicles obscure, yet highly important, episodes from America's past in this far-ranging volume. Arranged in chronological order by year, the vignettes portray the events that signaled change and defined our country, and they cover all aspects of our history-social life, religion, warfare, the frontier army, inventions, exploration, and more. Each episode is depicted in a brief, yet comprehensive, paragraph and is often accompanied by an illustration. Between the first entry recounting Columbus's landfall in the New World on October 12, 1492, and the last episode describing the first running of the Pony Express on April 3, 1860, are narratives of more than 450 events and 170 illustrations, all of which help the reader gain a perspective on America's storied past. The volume is literally an "almanac" of early American history.

Download or read book Bois-Brûlés written by Michel Bouchard and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We think of Métis as having Prairie roots. Quebec doesn’t recognize a historical Métis community, and the Métis National Council contests the existence of any Métis east of Ontario. Quebec residents who seek recognition as Métis under the Canadian Constitution therefore face an uphill legal and political battle. Who is right? Bois-Brûlés examines archival and ethnographic evidence to challenge two powerful nationalisms – Métis and Québécois – that interpret Métis identity in the province as “race-shifting.” This controversial work, previously available only in French, conclusively demonstrates that a Métis community emerged in early-nineteenth-century Quebec and can be traced all the way to today.

Download or read book Métis Politics and Governance in Canada written by Kelly Saunders and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when the Métis are becoming increasingly visible in Canadian politics, this unique book offers a practical guide for understanding who they are and the challenges they face on the path to self-government. It shows how the Métis are giving life to Louis Riel’s vision of a self-governing Métis Nation through the ongoing application of principles of governance that emerged during the fur trade. Drawing on the Métis language – Michif – Kelly Saunders and Janique Dubois demonstrate how the Métis have adapted their governance structures within the Canadian state context to meet the everyday needs of Métis citizens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blossoming of Métis society and culture in the 19th century marked a fascinating and colourful era in western Canadian history. Drawing from journals and contemporary sources, Irene Ternier Gordon presents a vivid account of Métis life in the area that is now Saskatchewan and Alberta. Here are the stories of the masters of the plains—Métis buffalo hunters, traders and entrepreneurs like Louis Goulet, Norbert Welsh and the legendary Gabriel Dumont. Many enjoyed lives of freedom and adventure, yet also faced heartbreak as their way of life came to an end. From the delightful details of marriage customs, feasts and fancy clothing to the sad consequences of the events of 1885, this book is a vivid chronicle of Métis life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the earliest settler policies to deal with the “Indian problem,” to contemporary government-run programs ostensibly designed to help Indigenous people, public policy has played a major role in creating the historical trauma that so greatly impacts the lives of Canada’s Aboriginal peoples. Taking Back Our Spirits traces the link between Canadian public policies, the injuries they have inflicted on Indigenous people, and Indigenous literature’s ability to heal individuals and communities. Episkenew examines contemporary autobiography, fiction, and drama to reveal how these texts respond to and critique public policy, and how literature functions as “medicine” to help cure the colonial contagion.
