Download or read book Akia The Other Side written by Norma Dunning and published by . This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this poetry collection, the author honours Inuit who lay in the past, and Inuit who are with us now and most importantly the Inuit who are waiting to come to us. The author believes it is not okay that Inuit children and adults died and were buried in unmarked graves, their bodies never returned to their loved ones. It is not okay that their relatives were never told of their deaths or where they were buried because keeping track of dead Inuit bodies was simply not very important to Canadian authorities. The author wants to imagine a world free of colonialism, a world without interference in Inuit lives.

Book excerpt: From the winner of the 2021 Governor General's Award for literature, a revelatory look into an obscured piece of Canadian history: what was then called the Eskimo Identification Tag System In 2001, Dr. Norma Dunning applied to the Nunavut Beneficiary program, requesting enrolment to legally solidify her existence as an Inuk woman. But in the process, she was faced with a question she could not answer, tied to a colonial institution retired decades ago: “What was your disc number?” Still haunted by this question years later, Dunning took it upon herself to reach out to Inuit community members who experienced the Eskimo Identification Tag System first-hand, providing vital perspective and nuance to the scant records available on the subject. Written with incisive detail and passion, Dunning provides readers with a comprehensive look into a bureaucracy sustained by the Canadian government for over thirty years, neglected by history books but with lasting echoes revealed in Dunning’s intimate interviews with affected community members. Not one government has taken responsibility or apologized for the E-number system to date — a symbol of the blatant dehumanizing treatment of the smallest Indigenous population in Canada. A necessary and timely offering, Kinauvit? provides a critical record and response to a significant piece of Canadian history, collecting years of research, interviews and personal stories from an important voice in Canadian literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Their scent is on the wind. Their blood is in the tides. They are coming. Wrongly accused of treason, Corin has been imprisoned by the very city he fought to save. With his brother murdered, his family disgraced, and the demon storm surging ever closer across the plains, Corin must place his faith in two unfamiliar guards who claim to be able to smuggle him to the outlands. But time is growing short, and the storm is drawing near. Having salvaged the ancient armor from the very jaws of Naraka, Olenka and her crew have returned to Lunsod sa Dagat. Unable to deny her prophetic visions any longer, Olenka has grudgingly agreed to confront the monks. Now, she has been whisked back into the life of rites and relics she abandoned in her youth. And she has foreseen a new calamity rising up from the abyss. With nothing left to hold back the coming blight, Corin and Olenka must race to find the strength to defend their people. Three hundred years after the ancient hero first repulsed the demon armies, can they too learn what it takes to bear the light? Or will they be proven weak and tainted vessels? What readers are saying about Tainted Vessels: "Beautiful characters, excellent worldbuilding. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a creature feature. There are no humans! But a lot of humanity." — Jack Adkins, author of the Dragons of Dorwine series "I was quite impressed. [Benjamin Schwarting's] storyline is solid. His characters are well fleshed out. His world building is quite outstanding." — Bookbub Reviewer "Benjamin Schwarting continues his engaging coming of age fantasy! ...The dual POV works great, the races are interesting, characters well developed, and the plot moves at a good pace. I look forward to book 3 in the Sum of Ages series!" — Nemesis Reviews on Goodreads "I enjoyed the first book (Fated Blight) and anxiously awaited this sequel...This coming-of-age fantasy is about more than complex societies, different cultures, and deep friendships. Family ties, concern for one’s fellow man, loyalty, and thinking creatively to solve problems...Can’t wait for more of this" — Amazon Reviewer
Download or read book Trouble written by Lex Croucher and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Regency-era romantic comedy with a deliciously feminist and queer twist, from the New York Times bestselling author of Gwen & Art Are Not in Love. There's a new governess at Fairmont House, and she's going to be nothing but trouble. Emily Laurence is a liar. She is not polite, she's not polished, and she has never taught a child in her life. This position was meant to be her sister's––brilliant, kind Amy, who isn't perpetually angry, dangerously reckless, and who does (inexplicably) like children. But Amy is unwell and needs a doctor, and their father is gone and their mother is useless, so here Emily is, pretending to be something she's not. If she can get away with her deception for long enough to earn a few month's wages and slip some expensive trinkets into her pockets along the way, perhaps they'll be all right. That is, as long as she doesn't get involved with the Edwards family's dramas. Emily refuses to care about her charges - Grace, who talks too much and loves too hard, and Aster, who is frankly terrifying but might just be the wittiest sixteen-year-old Emily has ever met - or the servants, who insist on acting as if they're each other's family. And she certainly hasn't noticed her employer, the brooding, taciturn Captain Edwards, no matter how good he might look without a shirt on . . . As Fairmont House draws her in, Emily's lies start to come undone. Can she fix her mistakes before it's too late?

Download or read book Tainna written by Norma Dunning and published by Douglas & McIntyre. This book was released on 2021-03-27 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on both lived experience and cultural memory, Norma Dunning brings together six powerful new short stories centred on modern-day Inuk characters in Tainna. Ranging from homeless to extravagantly wealthy, from spiritual to jaded, young to elderly, and even from alive to deceased, Dunning’s characters are united by shared feelings of alienation, displacement and loneliness resulting from their experiences in southern Canada. In Tainna—meaning “the unseen ones” and pronounced Da‐e‐nn‐a—a fraught reunion between sisters Sila and Amak ends in an uneasy understanding. From the spirit realm, Chevy Bass watches over his imperilled grandson, Kunak. And in the title story, the broken-hearted Bunny wanders onto a golf course on a freezing night, when a flock of geese stand vigil until her body is discovered by a kind stranger. Norma Dunning’s masterful storytelling uses humour and incisive detail to create compelling characters who discover themselves in a hostile land where prejudice, misogyny and inequity are most often found hidden in plain sight. There, they must rely on their wits, artistic talent, senses of humour and spirituality for survival; and there, too, they find solace in shining moments of reconnection with their families and communities.
Download or read book A Native Hawaiian Garden written by John L. Culliney and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1999-12-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hawai‘i is home to some of the rarest plants in the world, many of them now threatened by extinction. Despite a benign and nurturing climate, native species are declining almost everywhere in the Islands. Human-introduced pests, the spread of competing alien plants, wildfires, urban and agricultural development, and other disturbances of modern life are eliminating native species at an alarming pace. In fact, 38 percent of all plants on the U.S. endangered species list are native Hawaiian plants. A Native Hawaiian Garden is an effort to help stem the tide. Until recent years, few people attempted to raise native plants in their gardens, in schoolyards and parks, or around public buildings. But this situation is changing as essential information about raising native plants becomes more readily available. A Native Hawaiian Garden offers the most in-depth treatment yet on cultivating and propagating native Hawaiian plants. Following an overview of Hawaiian natural history and conservation, the book treats 63 species (many for the first time), giving detailed information on all stages of gardening: from preparing seeds for germination to the care and tending of the young plants in the landscape. Habitats where the plants are most likely to thrive are also described, as well as the uses that native Hawaiians made of the plants. Over 90 color photographs enhance the book. A Native Hawaiian Garden has much to offer professional horticulturists, landscapers, and botanists, and gives reason to hope that more spaces around housing developments, shopping malls, and other commercial buildings will soon include native plants. But the book will prove especially valuable to those gardeners who wish to grow and nurture something truly Hawaiian in their own backyards. Among the many rewards of growing natives, the authors make clear, is the opportunity to contribute your own experiences and findings to a vital preservation effort.
