This Zine was written in response to inquiries about not overstepping boundaries when working with Indigenous communities and organizations. The author provides answers for questions regarding “how much help is too much help and when to draw the line” between helping and appropriating and promoting one’s own need for gratification by doing something within the struggle that is meaningful.” Another sometimes difficult read, but overall an incredibly useful guide to respectful solidarity work and activism, with thought-provoking questions and encouragement.

The Land Is Our Storybook is a first-ever series of ten books for children about the diverse lands and cultures of the Northwest Territories. Mindy Willett, an educational consultant and former teacher from Yellowknife, has worked with storytellers - Elders and cultural leaders - from ten regions in the territory to capture real stories of everyday life as it exists today. Told in a uniquely diverse range of northern voices, with a child-centred approach, books in The Land Is Our Storybook series highlight each official Indigenous language group in the NWT, revealing a richly textured picture of life in the North - on the trapline, around the campfire, in communities, at school, and within the outdoor school that is the land itself. The series celebrates the seasons, ages, genders, traditional activities, and communities of the NWT. The stories are illustrated by the striking images of acclaimed northern photographer, Tessa Macintosh, and depict the similarities in lifestyle between children of the North and South, as well as the marked cultural differences, and highlight the special relationship these Indigenous people have with the land and how they are adapting to rapid change while remaining connected to the land. Images of the landscape and animals within it, of trapping, hunting, fishing, and bannock-baking sit alongside pictures of children at school, swimming at recreation centres, and reading in libraries. Here is modern Northern culture painted beautifully: a complex mix of the new and the old. These wonderful books, written with a variety of provincial and territorial curricula in mind, are specially designed for the classroom and include special features such as glossaries relating details on animals biology and cultural definitions, regional and language maps. The text of the stories also have sidebars such as "Our Stories", which contain the stories of the people and language group featured, and "Our Words", which highlight words in the featured language that are important to the story. The tenth and final book in the series will come with a CD of stories told in the languages featured in the books and a Teacher guide for the entire series.

When Through the Mackenzie Basin was published in 1908, it became an immediate success as an adventure book on the unsettled regions of Northwest Canada. Many of the issues the book addresses are still topical and contentious, a century after the signing of Treaty 8. In this new edition, David Leonard's introduction puts Mair's work into its historical context, while Brian Calliou's introduction adds a First Nations perspective. Charles Mair's first-hand account of the signing of Treaty No. 8 at Lesser Slave Lake in 1899 and the distribution of scrip in the District of Athabaska "has come to constitute the most detailed published source for the interpretation of these events," albeit from Mair's imperial perspective, notes Leonard, as "a government supporter, ardent Canadian nationalist and firm believer in the British institutions." This edition also includes the complete text of Treaty No. 8 including signatories, the "Order In Council Ratifying Treaty No. 8," and "The Report of Commissioners for Treaty No. 8."

From the earliest settler policies to deal with the “Indian problem,” to contemporary government-run programs ostensibly designed to help Indigenous people, public policy has played a major role in creating the historical trauma that so greatly impacts the lives of Indigenous peoples in Canada. Taking Back Our Spirits traces the link between Canadian public policies, the injuries they have inflicted on Indigenous people, and Indigenous literature’s ability to heal individuals and communities. Episkenew examines contemporary autobiography, fiction, and drama to reveal how these texts respond to and critique public policy, and how literature functions as “medicine” to help cure the colonial contagion. * 2009 Winner of the Saskatchewan Book Award for Scholarly Writing; 210 Winner of the Saskatchewan Book Award for First Peoples’ Writing

The Great Plains of North America was once home to great herds of bison. The Indigenous people who lived there revered them and relied on them for food, clothing, and shelter. Into one of these great herds, Little White Buffalo was born in the 19th century. In this heartfelt story, she retells her life - a life that coincides with the devastation of the bison, destroyed by hunters and the coming of the railway.

In a pounding critique of Canada's colonial history, this short film draws parallels between the annihilation of the bison in the 1890s and the devastation inflicted on Indigenous peoples by the residential school system. This film is part of Souvenir, a series of four films addressing Indigenous identity and representation by reworking material in the NFB's archive.
