NeWest Press Trail of the Spirit: The Mysteries of Medicine
Book SynopsisIn this new collection of stories, Dene Elder George Blondin defines medicine power, a gift from the Creator for the Dene way of life. Although medicine power has existed since before time began, here Blondin focuses on the past two hundred years, to show how it has shaped the Dene culture. Some are lucky enough to be born with, and the medicine power that some receive after birth or are taught by other medicine power people. This collection of stories and examples of Dene individuals who lived throughout history shows that there is a danger of losing the longstanding tradition of medicine power. Although this power can be used for both creation and destruction, it must be preserved as a vital element of the Dene way of life. In The Mysteries of Medicine Power Revealed, Blondin is our storytellerbringing medicine power to life with true stories from Dene history. Blondin explains medicine power clearly, and brings a better understanding of this extraordinary phenomenon into the world. Includes a foreword by Richard Van Camp.

Aboriginal Studies Press Living with native title: The experiences of
Book SynopsisMuch of the attention paid to native title in Australia has focused on court proceedings and other legalities, but what does it actually mean to live with native title? This book presents the experiences of native title holders and the corporations they have established to look after their native title interests.The influence of the renowned High Court Mabo case is such that there are already more than 100 Registered Native Title Bodies Corporate (RNTBCs) across Australia with responsibilities for about 18 per cent of the continent. RNTBCs operate in a profoundly intercultural context where ''western'' and Indigenous laws are constantly interpreted and negotiated as part of a new suite of landholding and land management practices for contemporary Australia.Through seven case studies from the Torres Strait, Far North Queensland, the Kimberley and Central Australia, Living with native title documents the experiences of RNTBCs, including those that are parties to large mining agreements. Each case study is accompanied by a short update written immediately prior to publication.Living with native title is a product of the AIATSIS research project Prescribed Bodies Corporate: Research Action Partnerships.

Caitlin Press Not My Fate: Story of a Nisga'a Survivor
Book SynopsisJosephine Caplin (Jo) was born into a world marred by maternal abandonment, alcoholism and traumatic epileptic seizures. In grade three, she was apprehended by child services and separated from her protective brother and her early caregivers, her father and uncle, who were kind men with drinking problems. Placed into many alienating and lonely foster homes, Jo would not see her family again until she was fourteen. Throughout her life Jo fought symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome, abuse by sadistic men and the collective horror of generations of ancestors forced into residential schools, causing many to believe Jo was destined to repeat a hopeless cycle. Yet she did not surrender to others'' despairing expectations: against all odds, Jo fought to create her own cycle full of hope and growth. Born of a Métis-Canadian background, author Janet Romain delicately and proudly tells the story of her heroic friend and explores the tragic aftermath of Canada''s residential schools and the effects of colonization. Jo is a courageous woman who determined her own fate and reclaimed her life. NOT MY FATE: STORY OF A NISGA''A SURVIVOR is her struggle to move past a legacy of hardship toward a life of peace and forgiveness.

V&R unipress GmbH Darkness Subverted: Aboriginal Gothic in Black
Book SynopsisThe discourse of self and other on which the classic horror novel was based was quickly applied to the circumstances of the colonial situation and projected onto the relationship between the colonial master and the colonial subject. Contemporary black Australian artists take on this colonial shower discourse, tear it to pieces through their sharp perspective and finally transform it into a discourse of Aboriginal Gothic. The present study develops the theoretical foundations of Aboriginal Gothic and uses the term thus concretized, to analyze novels by Vivienne Cleven, Mudrooroo, Kim Scott, Sam Watson and Alexis Wright as well as films by Beck Cole and Tracey Moffatt. The focus of the study is the extent to which the traditional European shower discourse is interspersed with elements of indigenous Australian culture in order to portray the current situation of Australian Aborigines and to describe a recovered cultural identity.
