    Performing Turtle Island

    Indigenous Theatre on the World Stage

    ABOUT THE BOOK: "Following the Final Report on Truth and Reconciliation, Performing Turtle Island investigates theatre as a tool for community engagement, education, and resistance. Understanding Indigenous cultures as critical sources of knowledge and meaning, each essay addresses issues that remind us that the way to reconciliation between Canadians and Indigenous peoples is neither straightforward nor easily achieved. Comprised of multidisciplinary and diverse perspectives, Performing Turtle Island considers performance as both a means to self-empowerment and self-determination, and a way of placing Indigenous performance in dialogue with other nations, both on the lands of Turtle Island and on the world stage."--from back cover.

    Uiesh

    Quelque part

    By Bacon, Joséphine
    Dans Quelque part, ou Uiesh, je m'éloigne de mon territoire, parfois je lui fais un clin d'œil puisque je ne pourrais jamais être loin, j'angoisse parce que je suis étrangère dans ce lieu (la ville) qui ne cesse de me rappeler qu'il est celui qui écrit ces mots. J'aimerais être poète simplement et y croire. Il y a des départs, il y a des déjà vécus, il y a des quelque part où je me trouve et il y a moi et mes poèmes aux mots simples.

  • Approaching Fire
    ABOUT THE BOOK: "In Approaching Fire, Michelle Porter embarks on a quest to find her great-grandfather, the Métis fiddler and performer Léon Robert Goulet. Through musicology, jigs and reels, poetry, photographs, and the ecology of fire, Porter invests biography with the power of reflective ingenuity, creating a portrait which expands beyond documentation into a private realm where truth meets metaphor."--

    The Cure for White Ladies

    By Simpson, Leanne Betasamosake
    ABOUT THE BOOK: Mashkawaji (they/them) lies frozen in the ice, remembering a long-ago time of hopeless connection and now finding freedom and solace in isolated suspension. They introduce us to the seven main characters: Akiwenzii, the old man who represents the narrator's will; Ninaatig, the maple tree who represents their lungs; Mindimooyenh, the old woman who represents their conscience; Sabe, the giant who represents their marrow; Adik, the caribou who represents their nervous system; Asin, the human who represents their eyes and ears; and Lucy, the human who represents their brain. Each attempts to commune with the unnatural urban-settler world, a world of SpongeBob Band-Aids, Ziploc baggies, Fjällräven Kånken backpacks, and coffee mugs emblazoned with institutional logos. And each searches out the natural world, only to discover those pockets that still exist are owned, contained, counted, and consumed. Cut off from nature, the characters are cut off from their natural selves.

    What I Remember, What I Know

    The Life of A High Arctic Exile

    By Audlaluk, Larry
    Our June Book is What I Remember, What I Know: The Life of A High Artic Exile by larry Audlaluk. ABOUT THE BOOK: "Larry Audlaluk was born in Uugaqsiuvik, a traditional settlement west of Inujjuak in northern Quebec, or Nunavik. He was almost three years old when his family was chosen by the government to be one of seven Inuit families relocated from Nunavik to the High Arctic in the early 1950s. They were promised a land of plenty. They were given an inhospitable polar desert. Larry tells of loss, illness, and his family's struggle to survive, juxtaposed with excerpts from official reports that conveyed the relocatees' plight as a successful experiment. With refreshing candour and an unbreakable sense of humour, Larry leads the reader through his life as a High Arctic Exile--through broken promises, a decades-long fight to return home, and a life between two worlds as southern culture begins to encroach on Inuit traditions."--Provided by publisher.
