The Cadottes

The Cadottes

Autor: Robert Silbernagel

Número de Páginas: 300

The Great Lakes fur trade spanned two centuries and thousands of miles, but the story of one particular family, the Cadottes, illuminates the history of trade and trapping while exploring under-researched stories of French-Ojibwe political, social, and economic relations. Multiple generations of Cadottes were involved in the trade, usually working as interpreters and peacemakers, as the region passed from French to British to American control. Focusing on the years 1760 to 1840—the heyday of the Great Lakes fur trade—Robert Silbernagel delves into the lives of the Cadottes, with particular emphasis on the Ojibwe–French Canadian Michel Cadotte and his Ojibwe wife, Equaysayway, who were traders and regional leaders on Madeline Island for nearly forty years. In The Cadottes: A Fur Trade Family on Lake Superior, Silbernagel deepens our understanding of this era with stories of resilient, remarkable people.

Dying For Gold

Dying For Gold

Autor: Lee Selleck , Francis Thompson

Número de Páginas: 454

On September 18, 1992 a violent explosion deep in Yellowknife's Giant mine took the lives of nine miners. The men had defied the picket lines that were the scene of violent clashes between the mineworkers and company security forces during a long and bitter strike/lockout. Roger Warren, a veteran miner whose skills were legendary, was convicted of nine counts of murder, but his guilt is disputed to this day. In this stunning, updated 30th anniversary expose, journalists Lee Selleck and Francis Thompson tell the dramatic story behind this tragedy, the vast personal and political fallout, and the lessons that hold true today. Dying For Gold unravels the complex web of events leading up to the explosion and gives incisive portraits of the major players on all sides of the bitter standoff. Selleck and Thompson conducted more than 500 interviews and spent five years writing Dying For Gold. Their work takes you inside the mine, to the picket lines, to the front row of the courtrooms for Roger Warren's trials, and the victims' families' tenacious struggle for compensation and justice. Dying For Gold inspired the CBC's recent, award-winning podcast, Giant – Murder Underground.

This is the third in a series of four volumes that are intended to present a complete Corpus of all the church buildings, of both the Western and the Oriental rites, built, rebuilt or simply in use in the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem between the capture of Jerusalem by the First Crusade in 1099 and the loss of Acre in 1291. This volume deals exclusively with Jerusalem, the capital of the Kingdom from 1099 to 1187, leaving the churches of Acre and Tyre to be covered in the fourth and final volume.

Holding Our World Together

Holding Our World Together

Autor: Brenda J. Child

Número de Páginas: 161

A groundbreaking exploration of the remarkable women in Native American communities. Too often ignored or underemphasized in favor of their male warrior counterparts, Native American women have played a more central role in guiding their nations than has ever been understood. Many Native communities were, in fact, organized around women's labor, the sanctity of mothers, and the wisdom of female elders. In this well-researched and deeply felt account of the Ojibwe of Lake Superior and the Mississippi River, Brenda J. Child details the ways in which women have shaped Native American life from the days of early trade with Europeans through the reservation era and beyond. The latest volume in the Penguin Library of American Indian History, Holding Our World Together illuminates the lives of women such as Madeleine Cadotte, who became a powerful mediator between her people and European fur traders, and Gertrude Buckanaga, whose postwar community activism in Minneapolis helped bring many Indian families out of poverty. Drawing on these stories and others, Child offers a powerful tribute to the many courageous women who sustained Native communities through the darkest challenges of the...

Le collier de Jeanne

Le collier de Jeanne

Autor: Gérard Carreyrou

Número de Páginas: 265

« Ce procès fut une secousse qui mina les bases de l’État. Il détruisit la considération que le peuple avait pour la reine et, généralement, pour les classes supérieures, car, hélas, chacun des acteurs ne faisait que dévoiler la corruption où se débattaient la Cour et les personnes du plus haut rang... L’événement me remplit d’épouvante, comme l’aurait fait la tête de la Méduse. Ces intrigues détruisaient la dignité royale. Aussi, l’histoire du collier forme-t-elle la préface immédiate de la Révolution. Elle en est le fondement. La reine, étroitement liée à cette fatale affaire, y perdit sa dignité, sa considération, elle y perdit dans la pensée populaire cet appui moral qui faisait d’elle une figure intangible. »

Three Fires Unity

Three Fires Unity

Autor: Phil Bellfy

Número de Páginas: 181

The Lake Huron area of the Upper Great Lakes region, an area spreading across vast parts of the United States and Canada, has been inhabited by the Anishnaabeg for millennia. Since their first contact with Europeans around 1600, the Anishnaabeg have interacted with--and struggled against--changing and shifting European empires and the emerging nation-states that have replaced them. Through their cultural strength, diplomatic acumen, and a remarkable knack for adapting to change, the Anishnaabeg of the Lake Huron Borderlands have reemerged as a strong and vital people, fully in charge of their destiny in the twenty-first century. Winner of the North American Indian Prose Award, this first comprehensive cross-border history of the Anishnaabeg provides an engaging account of four hundred years of their life in the Lake Huron area, showing how they have been affected by European contact and trade. Three Fires Unity examines how shifting European politics and, later, the imposition of the Canada-United States border running through their homeland, affected them and continue to do so today. In looking at the cultural, social, and political aspects of this borderland contact, Phil Bellfy ...
