Whether looking back to a troubled past or welcoming a hopeful future, the powerful voices of Indigenous women across North America resound in this book. In the same style as the best-selling Dreaming in Indian, #Not Your Princess presents an eclectic collection of poems, essays, interviews, and art that combine to express the experience of being a Native woman. Stories of abuse, humiliation, and stereotyping are countered by the voices of passionate women making themselves heard and demanding change. Sometimes angry, often reflective, but always strong, the women in this book will give teen readers insight into the lives of women who, for so long, have been virtually invisible.

Book Description
John Lutz traces Aboriginal people’s involvement in the new economy, and their displacement from it, from the arrival of the first Europeans to the 1970s. Drawing on an extensive array of oral histories, manuscripts, newspaper accounts, biographies, and statistical analysis, Lutz shows that Aboriginal people flocked to the workforce and prospered in the late nineteenth century. He argues that the roots of today’s widespread unemployment and “welfare dependency” date only from the 1950s, when deliberate and inadvertent policy choices – what Lutz terms the “white problem” drove Aboriginal people out of the capitalist, wage, and subsistence economies, offering them welfare as “compensation.”

Book Description
The Colonial Shadow examines the colonial psychology that has shaped what is now known as Canada. This psychology has perpetrated devastating harm over the last half a millennium and continues to oppress Indigenous people and degrade the environment. This book is inspired by the tenet of depth psychology that stories and myths from one’s own ancestry can bring about transformation and deep changes in perspective. As such, it investigates how an alchemical way of imagining into white settler colonial consciousness might contribute to its accountability and psychological healing today. The Colonial Shadow will be an invaluable resource for professionals, academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian ideas, settler-colonial and First Nations studies, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies as well as for anyone interested in addressing the colonial complex.

Book Description
Reserve Memories examines how myths and narratives about the past have enabled a Northern Athabaskan community to understand and confront challenges and opportunities in the present. For over five centuries the Chilcotin people have lived in relative isolation in the rich timberlands and scattered meadows of the inland Northwest, in what is today known as west central British Columbia. Although linguistic and cultural changes are escalating, they remain one of the more traditional and little known Native communities in northwestern North America. Combining years of fieldwork with an acute theoretical perspective, David W. Dinwoodie sheds light on the special power of the past for the Chilcotin people of the Nemiah Valley Indian Reserve. In different social and political settings, they draw upon a "reserve" of memories-in particular, myths and historical narratives-and reactivate them in order to help make sense of and deal effectively with the possibilities and problems of the modern world. For example, the declaration of the Chilcotins against clear-cut logging draws upon one of their central myths, adding a deeper and more lasting cultural significance and resonance to the political statement.

Book Description
The all-new, expanded follow-up to southwestern British Columbia’s best-selling hiking guidebook—now featuring trails on the islands and northern Washington. For nearly fifty years, David and Mary Macaree’s iconic 103 Hikes in Southwestern British Columbia has been the province’s most popular and most trusted hiking guide, with more than 100,000 copies sold to date. Author Stephen Hui carries on the Macarees’ legacy in 105 Hikes in and around Southwestern British Columbia—an all-new, expanded follow-up inspired by their beloved classic. With an additional selection of trails on the Gulf Islands and in Washington’s North Cascades, options for hiking with children, and rainy day recommendations, 105 Hikes covers a wider area and wider range of abilities than its predecessor. Like the Macarees, Hui provides detailed information about how to get to each trailhead (including transit options, where available), distance and elevation gains, estimated hiking times, and points of natural or historical interest. But he also includes all-new features such as an at-a-glance summary of all the hikes in the book; tips for hiking safely and ethically; clear, topographical color maps; a rating system for hike quality and difficulty; Indigenous place names where appropriate; and shorter or longer options for every outing.

Book Description
Finalist, Bill Duthie Booksellers' Choice Award (1993). "Chilcotins, they never got beat. Never got beat." -- Henry Solomon, in Nemiah: The Unconquered Country Those words were true in 1864, when the Tsilhqot'in Nation were among the very few First Nations peoples to win a war against European settlers (the Chilcotin War). They were true in 1990, when Terry Glavin spent a month living in the Nemiah Valley to learn about the Xeni Gwet'in people's successful campaign to prevent logging in their homeland. And they're still true in 2014: since the 1992 publication of Nemiah: The Unconquered Country, the Xeni Gwet'in people of BC's Chilcotin region have won a series of court battles that culminated in a landmark June 2014 Supreme Court ruling expanding First Nations' land claims; they have successfully opposed, for a third time, Taseko Mines' "New Prosperity" project; and they're among the many signatories to the Save the Fraser Declaration, a First Nations law that forbids Enbridge's Northern Gateway project from despoiling their lands. Nemiah: The Unconquered Country has long been out of print. But a recent warehouse move unearthed a few long-lost cartons of this collaboration between the Xeni Gwet'in people, Terry Glavin, and photographers Gary Fiegehen, Rick Blacklaws, and Vance Hanna. New Star Books is pleased to offer this book once more, for a limited time. Since long before Canada existed, the Nemiah Valley has been home to grizzly bears, moose, the wild horses of the Brittany triangle, and the Xeni Gwet'in people of the Tsilhqot'in Nation. Nemiah: The Unconquered Country is the story of the Chilcotin War and of a people determined to resist interference from governments and corporations. It is a rich and moving portrayal of and by the Xeni Gwet'in people, told through a vivid tapestry of their own stories, a text by renowned author and journalist Terry Glavin, and "superb photos and design" (Quill & Quire starred review, 1993) that unite to "convey a strong sense of the injustice of the colonial encounter, whether in its nineteenth-century or twentieth-century form" (BCLA Reporter, 1993). That injustice continues into the twenty-first century -- 150 years since the Chilcotin War and over 20 years since its publication, Nemiah: The Unconquered Country resonates more than ever. The Xeni Gwet'in have still "never got beat," but with the recent approval of the Northern Gateway project, Tsilhqot'in territory is again threatened by industry. Now is the perfect time to revisit this "rich, lively story that is both an intellectual and emotional argument for the sanctuary they seek in the land they belong to" (Canadian Geographic, 1993), and "allows us to see the dissonance created when one culture's geography is laid over another's" (Books in Canada, 1993). Glavin "offers something fundamentally subversive -- a poetic text grounded in a factual universe."-- Bruce Serafin, The Vancouver Review (1995)

Book Description
In 2008 the Canadian government apologized to the victims of the notorious Indian residential school system, and established a Truth and Reconciliation Commission whose goal was to mend the deep rifts between Aboriginal peoples and the settler society that engineered the system. Unsettling the Settler Within argues that in order to truly participate in the transformative possibilities of reconciliation, non-Aboriginal Canadians must undergo their own process of decolonization. They must relinquish the persistent myth of themselves as peacemakers and acknowledge the destructive legacy of a society that has stubbornly ignored and devalued Indigenous experience. Today’s truth and reconciliation processes must make space for an Indigenous historical counter-narrative in order to avoid perpetuating a colonial relationship between Aboriginal and settler peoples. A compassionate call to action, this powerful book offers all Canadians – both Indigenous and not – a new way of approaching the critical task of healing the wounds left by the residential school system.
