      -- Augie Merasty.
      By Merasty, Joseph Auguste  Carpenter, David, 1941-
       2022., University of Regina Press Call No: NL B MER    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Series Title: Regina collection   Volume: 1.Summary Note: "A national bestseller, now available in paperback. Named the fourth most important Book of the Year by the National Post in 2015 and recipient of the One Book, One Province in Saskatchewan for 2017, The Education of Augie Merasty launched on the front page of the Globe and Mail and became a national bestseller and an instant classic. A retired fisherman and trapper who sometimes lived rough on the streets, Augie Merasty was one of an estimated 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and �?Mtis children who were taken from their families and sent to government-funded, church-run schools, where they were subjected to a policy of aggressive assimilation. As Merasty recounts, these schools did more than attempt to mould children in the ways of white society. They were taught to be ashamed of their heritage and, as he experienced, often suffered physical and sexual abuse. A courageous and intimate memoir, The Education of Augie Merasty is the story of a child who faced the dark heart of humanity, let loose by the cruel policies of a bigoted nation. But even as he looks back on this painful part of his childhood, Merasty's sense of humour and warm voice shine through."--

      By Bruchac, Joseph, 1942-  Fadden, David Kanietakeron
       [2021]., Juvenile, Wisdom Tales Call No: 974.7 Bru    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: "The League of the Iroquois was a true representational democracy-so much so that the United States Constitution is said to have been modeled on some of its tenets. But how, perhaps a thousand years before the time of Columbus, did the Five Iroquois Nations (the Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, and Seneca) come to end the bitter eye-for-eye warfare among them? What brought them together in an alliance based on the Great Law of Peace? And how was it that a system of Clan Mothers was instituted in which women are seen as the center of the nation and still today choose the 50 royaners, or peace chiefs, who speak for their respective communities in meetings of the League? In A Peacemaker for Warring Nations, renowned Native author Joseph Bruchac draws from the teachings of both contemporary and past Iroquois tradition bearers in telling the inspiring story of how "the Peacemaker," a divine messenger sent by the Creator, helped to bring reconciliation to warring nations. The book is beautifully and accurately illustrated by David Kanietakeron Fadden, a respected Mohawk artist whose work honors his deep indigenous roots"--
