Interpretations of Indigenous Thought
By (author) Jay Hansford C. Vest, PhD
Native American Oralcy: Interpretations of Indigenous Thought is a work of
criticism designed to challenge the misadventures of modernity in its divorce
from the organic world. Engaging Native American / First Nations oral traditions
as they embrace an paradigm of thought that engenders accord with nature, this
study challenges the creeping ideological abstractions that ensue with the mindover-matter mentality of the Western literary paradigm. It is an insight into the
once and future wisdom essential to earth care.

NATIVE AMERICAN ORALCY
MY PEOPLE’S BLOOD
Indigenous Sexual Health Recovery
By (author) Josie C. Auger, PhD (Mistahi-Aski Iskwew)
Colonization has impacted the gender roles and sexuality of Indigenous peoples.
Through unhealed molestation and abuse First Nations communities are seeing
the impact of HIV/AIDS. A series of three plays were developed with a group
of First Nation youth and Elders to address the impacts of the virus that causes
AIDS in an Indigenous community. My People’s Blood is about giving voice to
those stories that hurt, blame, and shame. Healing from historical trauma and
reclaiming who we are as Indigenous peoples will help recovery. The stories are
weaved together with kindness, honesty, caring and strength with the help of
Grandmother Spider and the Indigenous Iterative Web created as an Indigenous
research method from this popular theatre and action research project.

ACCESS, CLOCKS, BLOCKS AND STOCKS
Resisting Health Canada’s Management of Traditional Medicine
By (author) Michael Hankard, PhD
Written from a First Nations perspective, Access, Clocks, Blocks and Stocks offers
an understanding pertaining to how the Canadian healthcare system is actively
undermining and transforming traditional medicine; and by extension, culture.
No longer is the process organized around tobacco, gifts, and traditional
protocols. Access to traditional medicine has now become a process implemented
under surveillance and regulated by bureaucratic texts, managerial systems and
accounting practices. From this process, we are beginning to witness differential
access for on- and off-reserve First Nation individuals. As such, Health Canada
policy is dividing First Nation communities.

KITASKINO: Key Issues, Challenges and Visions for Northern Aboriginal
Communities in Canada
By (editors) Herman J. Michell, PhD and Cathy H.G. Wheaton
KITASKINO, (a Cree term that speaks to our collective responsibility as humans
to ensure the protection of the earth, lakes, and rivers as they are foundational to
Aboriginal worldviews, traditional values, ways of knowing, and languages), is a
collection of northern-based articles designed to fill the need for northern-based
authorship that highlights the social, historical, cultural, economic, political, and
educational issues of concern to Aboriginal communities across Canada. Part-I
provides current foundational issues for northern peoples. Part-II examines the
impact change has and is having on northern peoples. Part-III provides current
research findings, and suggests areas of need pertaining to future research
endeavours.
WALKING WITH INDIGENOUS PHILOSOPHY
Justice and Addiction Recovery (2nd Edition)
By (authors) John G. Hansen, PhD., Teresa A. Booker, PhD & John E.
Charlton, DMin,RCC
This book is a multidisciplinary, international and cross cultural examination
of a restorative justice based approach, that at its heart draws upon the wisdom
inherent within Indigenous cultures, in order to question hierarchical and heavily
one-sided disease based understanding to addiction recovery. Walking With
Indigenous Philosophy: Justice and Addiction Recovery advocates a model of restorative justice that is saturated throughout by an Indigenous philosophy of holism
and healing through inclusion and education, when working with those upon the
margins, in order to appreciate and honour the whole person.
LIVING IN LIMBO WITH HOPE
Sudanese Refugees and Social Injustice in Egypt
By (author) Gamal A. Adam, PhD
Dr. Gamal Adam explores the resilience and hope that Sudanese refugees exhibit
despite the social injustice they experience, while living in Cairo, Egypt, on a daily
basis. The book is not about refugee life in rural East Africa, but about refugee life
in a major urban center. This differentiates Dr. Adam’s work, as the majority of
existing research on East African refugees tends to concentrate upon camp life in
rural areas. Dr. Adam accomplishes three crucial things. First, he describes coping
strategies employed by urban Sudanese refugees. Next Dr. Adam examines
emerging identities that urban Sudanese refugees are forming in result of their
lived experiences of exclusion and exploitation. Finally, Dr. Adam explores what
hopes urban Sudanese men, women and children have while living in Cairo.

PIMATISIWIN
The Good Life, Global Indigenous Knowledge Systems
By (author) Priscilla Settee, PhD
Drawing upon her own life, scholarly work and a in-depth review of the relevant
literature, Priscilla Settee delivers a perspective of what it means to be alive while,
at the same time, furthering Indigenous-based struggles for decolonization, social
justice and intellectual thought. Dr. Melissa Nelson (San Francisco State
University) notes: “Pimatisiwin skillfully interrogates the hegemony of power
and politics in higher education and offers clear case studies and tools to speak
truth to power, build learning alliances, and protect indigenous knowledge for the
well-being of all humanity and the Earth.”
SWAMPY CREE JUSTICE
Researching the Ways of the People (2nd Edition)
By (author) John G. Hansen, PhD
In this updated and expanded second edition, Dr. Hansen builds upon his original
exploration of the concept of Indigenous/First Nations justice by incorporating
discussions with three Omushkegowuk (Swampy Cree) Justice Committee
members to the stories and explanations originally provided by the six
Omushkegowuk elders indigenous to northern Manitoba. In so doing, Dr.
Hansen provides an example of how the philosophy of Omushkegowuk justice, (a
concept of justice undergirded, and impregnated with, a belief in education and
healing), is being implemented in praxis.
THE LEGACY OF COMMUNITY JUSTICE
Edited By (editors) Sandra Pavelka, PhD., Anne Seymour & Barry Stuart
This book is a tribute to the late Dennis “Denny” Michael Maloney. Under
Dennis’ leadership, Deschutes County’s (Bend, OR), Juvenile Justice System
became a national model for community justice. As Dr. Pavelka notes, “[t]he
county’s success at charting the course of national trends serves as an inspiration
for other local communities...” (p. 37).
Throughout all eleven chapters, the reader is introduced to current justice
reforms, the thinking which underlies some of those reforms, and to whom
Dennis Maloney, the charismatic and tenacious impetus behind many of these
reforms, was.

CREE WAYS OF KNOWING AND SCHOOL SCIENCE
By (author) Herman Michell, PhD
Drawing upon a variety of academic sources as well as personal and professional
experiences, Dr. Michell, a member of the Barren Lands First Nation, offers a
book designed to assist educators in coming to understand the larger frameworks
of Cree ontology (ways of seeing the world and one’s place in it), epistemology
(ways of understanding knowledge), and methodologies (ways of teaching).
While Dr. Michell’s book is a specific example of Cree culture, from northern
Saskatchewan, the message is most certainly transferable beyond the Barren
Lands First Nation example, and as such, offers readers entry into thinking
about how to make bridges between diverse ways of knowing that is applicable
cross-culturally.
WORKING WITH ABORIGINAL COMMUNITIES IN
PLACES OF HIGHER LEARNING
By (author) Herman Michell, PhD

their communities in Canada. Along this introduction, readers will be afforded
the opportunity to enter a discussion that provides a broad overview of Aboriginal
people’s social, historical, political, cultural, educational, and economic realities.
Dr. Michell’s writing is guided by his own experience as a faculty member, and
former department head, within the university system. Importantly, from his
knowledge based upon direct experience, Dr. Michell seeks to provide
information, suggestions, ideas, and practical strategies when working with
Aboriginal communities.
WORKING WITH ELDERS AND INDIGENOUS
KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS: A Reader and Guide for Places of Higher
Learning
By (author) Herman Michell, PhD
Dr. Herman Michell has produced a practical, easy to follow, reader designed
to provide both examples and suggestions so as to allow readers the ability to
establish “a starting base from which they can develop their own ways of working
with Elders…” (p. ii). By exploring key Indigenous concepts, [i.e., definitions of
Indigenous identity in Canada, Indigenous People and Indigenous knowledge;
Indigenous worldview; who are Indigenous elders; etc.], Dr. Michell hopes to
build cross-cultural bridges. This book is a must read for anyone wishing to
quickly obtain an understanding of what underlies Indigenous ways of perceiving.

METIS HEALTH
The Invisible Problem
By (author) Carrie Bourrassa, PhD
Dr. Carrie Bourassa has produced a Marxist analysis of Métis health status that
makes this book a must read for anyone interested in Métis or social justice issues.
Using 2010 government of Canada data, that drew upon the 2006 Census, Dr.
Bourassa notes that, “the Métis population increased by 33% since 2001 and 91%
since 1996” (p. x). While this is an interesting fact, by itself, it becomes a
concerning fact when Dr. Bourrassa adds that, “[r]esearch has consistently shown
that First Nations have a much shorter life expectancy than that for Canada as a
whole… The pattern is similar for Inuit. However, mortality patterns among Métis
are largely unknown” (p. xi).
HER BELIEVABLE LIES
Surviving Intimate Partner Violence
By (author) Michelle-Meridith Wreggitt
Michelle writes about the horrors of domestic violence from the perspective of
the survivor. What sets this book apart is that not only is Michelle a survivor, but
she is a survivor who, when she finally went for help, had to ask her victimizers’
friends and co-workers for that help. Michelle chronicles her story in a way that
allows the reader, through italicized interjections throughout the book, to hear
what she was thinking at the time. Quite simply, yet eloquently, Michelle has
written a book that allows readers to get inside the head of an abused person in
order to hear her thoughts. Her Believable Lies is a must read for anyone in an
abusive relationship, or for anyone who knows of, or is helping, someone is such a
relationship.
