Download or read book THE WESTERN CREE Pakisimotan Wi Iniwak Louis Joseph Piche Chief Pesew The Founding of a Dynasty written by Joachim Fromhold and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-10-23 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most Canadians have heard of the Indian Chiefs Poundmaker, Big Bear and perhaps even Broken Arm (MASKI PITON), Chief PESEW has remained virutally unkown. He is not mentioned in the popular or academic history of the Canadian west or in the Indian history of the west. In fact, western development owes a large debt to Chief PESEW - Louis Joseph Piche. Coming west as a young Voyageur with Peter Pond, Piche eventually rose to become the Head Chief of the Cree/Nakoda alliance in the west, and their allied tribes. His sway reached from Winnipeg to the Pacific, and from Lesser Slave Lake to Wyoming. It is Piche and his followers who "settled" the west, and it is thanks to him that the west was settled peacefully for those who followed. Piche had a large family, and most of the Western Cree chiefs today can trace descent to him. 468 pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demon armies have returned, and the world was not prepared to face them. Each bearing a piece of the sacred light, Corin and Olenka have finally found the power to defend their people. But the demon scourge is spreading fast, and there are few places of refuge left in the endless storm. Very soon, there may be no one left to save amid the breathless hordes of infected. Unless the world can come together. But the stone giants of Shan Zhong are not easily swayed. Now Corin must prove himself to the children of the mountains, a race so ancient that they remember the first yokai calamity… …as well as Vallin’s failure to end it. To the south, Olenka races from the safety of the sacred city to rescue a doomed fleet on a sick sea, but help is hard to come by on the blackened tides of a tainted ocean. Should she place her trust in her own finite strength, or in the bloody hands of pirates who claim noble intent? Either way, the future is filled with the harrowing echoes of the past. What readers are saying about Harrowing Echoes: "Benjamin Schwarting continues his engaging coming of age fantasy! A well written story...the characters and world are well fleshed out and interesting. I look forward the next series from Benjamin!" — Nemesis Reviews on Goodreads
Download or read book More Battlefields of Canada written by Mary Beacock Fryer and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 1996-07-26 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More Battlefields of Canada is a sequel to Mary Beacock Fryers bestselling Battlefields of Canada. Like it’s predecessor, this volume covers nearly three hundred years of history and covers the most significant - as well as some of the most comic and bizarre - Canadian battles. Illustrated with sketches, photographs and detailed maps, the individual chapters begin by setting the context of the battle in terms of the larger struggle. The reader is then taken on to the battlefield with an hour by hour account. A brief conclusion to each chapter assesses the consequences for the victor and the loser, assigning each battle it’s place in Canadian history. Not all the battles re-created in this volume were fought in Canada. Some took place in the United states, and there is also an account of the Canadian experience in Hong Kong in 1941. A detailed chronology provides a comprehensive list of every Canadian battle since the 1600’s.

Book excerpt: What if an ancient Sanskrit text holds the key to solving today’s deepest problems? That’s the question Justin Davis is faced with as he embarks on a hero’s journey to save the world in this thrilling spiritual fantasy. Justin Davis is a brilliant but greatly troubled West Virginia teen, struggling with his father’s brutal murder and his once wealthy family’s loss of money, status, dignity, and hope. Broken, angry, and bitter, Justin has all but given up on life. But then, on his fifteenth birthday, his mother presents him with a mysterious gift: a copy of The First Avatara, a lush, beautifully illustrated book relating the immemorial legend of Krsna. When evil Asura forces attacked the idyllic planet of Bhu-loka and threatened to enslave its inhabitants, Krsna, the first Avatara, descended to that world in its darkest hour and fought to save its people and preserve its way of life. Enthralled by the tale, Justin enters the story as much more than just a reader, and is challenged to undertake a hero’s journey of his own, not just through time, but also into the depths of his own soul. In the process, he will experience love, loss, courage, and sacrifice that compel him to cast aside a life of self-pity and indulgence, and heroically confront a startling evil that threatens his family, and the world.
