Kitcikisik (the Great Sky) : stories that fill the night / by Buck, Wilfred.; Buck, Mistawasis.;
"Kitcikisik / Great Sky: Stories That Fill the Night Sky, is a Cree perspective on stars and constellations. For millennia, humans have stared into the night sky and wondered. Every culture on the face of Nikawiy Aski, Mother Earth, have their own connections to the vast night sky. The Ininew (Cree) of North America hold sacred the many tales and teachings the various constellations in Ininew Cosmology reveal. Indigenous Star Knowledge and the identification of constellations is a fluid and dynamic concept. As one begins to understand the depth of knowledge Indigenous People hold pertaining to the stars, a wholistic picture begins to develop about our existence and our (humans) part in that dynamic fluid concept - reality. The dynamic of fluidity is presented in the various stories associated with certain groups of stars. Kitcikisik / Great Sky are these stories. Cree and Cree syllabics, images, diagrams, constellation maps, original artwork are included in Kitcikisik."--

The folly and the glory : America, Russia, and political warfare, 1945-2020 / by Weiner, Tim,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."With vivid storytelling and access to insider accounts, Weiner sets out to trace the roots of Russian-American political warfare--conflict waged without weapons--over the last seven decades to understand how a president landed in the White House with the help of an expansive, covert Russian campaign. Russia's modern revival of Soviet-era intelligence operations constitutes one of the most significant threats to democracy in the United States and around the world, and yet the US has not engaged its own political warfare methods in defense, even as our own justice department has concluded unequivocally that Russia influenced the 2016 election. To get to the heart of what's at stake and find potential solutions, Weiner examines long-running twentieth century CIA operations, political machinations by the Soviet KGB around the world, the erosion of American political warfare after the Cold War, and why twenty-first century Russia has returned to the practice while the US has not. Weiner takes us behind closed doors and into the deliberation rooms of past and present Russian and American intelligence operations that directly led to-and help illuminate-the current administration and the future of American democracy"--
