Download or read book The Summer Of Ice written by Beverley Hopwood and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Things began to go wrong when Frobisher Bay stays ice locked and ships cannot get in to replenish the diesel fuel or bring much needed food into Iqaluit. As Rosa Mama unravels the story of her husband’s death, deceit and denial worm their way into a culture and way of life already made difficult by the environment. Most of our Inuit community are happy people, though we older members struggle a little with understanding the Outsiders’ ways. It is sad that we have come to depend so much on goods from the South, which have to be shipped into Iqaluit during the fall or flown in at great expense. But this summer has been like no other. It is the Summer of Ice, and this is my account of the events that caused great hardship in our family. Abraham and his son, Peter Qaqquasiq, are not happy. Since Peter’s mother left the family, Peter has been causing trouble and getting other teenagers into trouble, but my grandson, Adam, has become a strong young man because of the problems with him. Adam’s parents have difficulty relating to him at times, but I thank God that I was able to help him in some small ways. - Rosa Aariak

Download or read book A Second Look written by Andie Peterson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-10-19 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four-hundred-twenty-five books are reviewed in this superb collection. A Second Look, Native Americans in Childrens Books gives a thorough examination of the books as a guide for parents, teachers, librarians, and administrators interested in books for children. Anyone involved in selecting books will find this guide useful in working through the maze of available materials. Andie Peterson, one of the few women to be awarded an Eagle Feather, has provided a meaningful criteria to help in judging books. She outlines ways for objectively studying books to draw conclusions as to the suitability for the reader. She writes candidly about books filled with stereotypes, hurtful images, and damaging text and illustrations. She writes eloquent, glowing reviews of the books that are real treasures. She writes: On a daily basis, children must face the hidden curriculum that lets them know where they fit in, whether they can achieve their goals, whether they even dare to dream. An overwhelming part of that hidden curriculum begins with books that are more narrative and illustrations; they are books that carry a message of politics and values. Andie advises that in selecting Native American books, the non-Native child must be considered, also. She counsels that hurtful books set in motion attitudes of prejudice that persist for years. She states that she has reviewed books with older copyrights because they are still on the shelves in libraries and available via the Internet. She says reading the older books helps to understand how adults have formed ideas about Native people. She says: After all, if its in a book in the library, people believe it to be true. Its time to disturb the peace and end the ritual of damage. A Second Look, Native Americans in Childrens Books By Andie Peterson
Download or read book Les Belles trang res written by Jane Koustas and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2008-03-10 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While translation history in Canada is well documented, the history of the translation of Canadian fiction outside the nation remains obscure. Les Belles Étrangères examines the translation of Canadian English-language fiction in France. This book considers the history of this practice, the reasons for the move away from Quebec translators as well as the process and perils involved in this detour. Within a theoretical framework and drawing on primary sources, this study considers the historical, theoretical, and concrete aspects of this practice through the study of the translations of authors such as Robertson Davies, Carol Shields, Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, Ann-Marie MacDonald, and Alistair MacLeod. The book also includes a comprehensive bibliography of English-language novels, poetry, and plays published and translated in France over the past 240 years.

Download or read book Inuit Art written by Richard C. Crandall and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2000 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inuit--sometimes referred to as Eskimo--art is the primary art form of Canada and has a large international following, particularly in the United States, Japan, and Germany. Despite its popularity, the complete history of Inuit art has never been presented. This is the first chronological synthesis of Inuit art, following its development from prehistory, through early American and European exploration, to the recognition of Inuit art as a commercial possibility, and up to the present. There is a particular emphasis on contemporary art and artists, and the years 1950 through 1997 are each given separate, detailed treatment in regard to important shows and events. This history is appropriate both for the beginning admirer of Inuit art and for those already well immersed in it.
