Описание: Since 1970 in Quebec, there has been immense change for the Cree, who now live with the consequences of Quebec’s massive development of the North. Home Is the Hunter presents the historical, environmental, and cultural context from which this recent story grows. Hans Carlson shows how the Cree view their lands as their home, their garden, and their memory of themselves as a people. By investigating the Cree’s three hundred years of contact with outsiders, he illuminates the process of cultural negotiation at the foundation of ongoing political and environmental debates. This book offers a way of thinking about indigenous peoples’ struggles for rights and environmental justice in Canada and elsewhere.

Описание: Among the Creeks, they were known as Estelvste-black people-and they had lived among them since the days of the first Spanish entradas. They spoke the same language as the Creeks, ate the same foods, and shared kinship ties. Their only difference was the color of their skin.This book tells how people of African heritage came to blend their lives with those of their Indian neighbors and essentially became Creek themselves. Taking in the full historical sweep of African Americans among the Creeks, from the sixteenth century through Oklahoma statehood, Gary Zellar unfolds a narrative history of the many contributions these people made to Creek history.Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, Zellar reveals how African people functioned as warriors, interpreters, preachers, medicine men, and even slave labor, all of which allowed the tribe to withstand the shocks of Anglo-American expansion. He also tells how they provided leaders who helped the Creeks navigate the onslaught of allotment, tribal dissolution, and Oklahoma statehood.In his compelling narrative, Zellar describes how African Creeks made a place for themselves in a tolerant Creek Nation in which they had access to land, resources, and political leverage-and how post-Civil War ""reform"" reduced them to the second-class citizenship of other African Americans. It is a stirring account that puts history in a new light as it adds to our understanding of the multi-ethnic nature of Indian societies.

Описание: Although Ruth DyckFehderau is the writer, this is a community project, owned and controlled by the James Bay Cree health dept (because stories are medicine)
The James Bay Cree hired outside writers because “our own writers have enough to carry.” Each story was difficult to retell to the writer. Most residential school stories are still passed on in traditional ways – there are many healing projects going on, this is just one project to deliver the stories to a wider audience people whose stories are in the book are people who want their stories in a book (not a traditional Cree art form), want their stories shared outside eeyou istchee, want to tell their stories anonymously because they hold a position of prominence in the community and feel they can’t speak freely otherwise, they want to control how children and grandchildren discover their stories, sometimes protecting perpetrators (whom they might love) just for other privacy reasons methodology: hearing the story, sometimes multiple times, going away to write it up, then returning for approval, as many times as that took. Resources were offered for healing throughout the process, themes heard throughout: healing does not mean justice has been done; sometimes this is the first time these stories have been told; storytellers worried about telling the stories of others; the intent of these stories is to help others although the book contains difficult content the stories are often uplifting – no need to be afraid of what is on the page. Each story, each person, each healing process, is different.
first book will be followed by 2 or 3 more in the coming years.
