- Prairie edge : a novel / by Kerr, Conor,author.;
"The Giller Prize-longlisted author of Avenue of Champions returns with a frenetic, propulsive crime thriller that doubles as a sharp critique of modern activism and challenges readers to consider what "Land Back" might really look like. Meet Isidore "Ezzy" Desjarlais and Grey Ginther: two distant Métis cousins making the most of Grey's uncle's old trailer, passing their days playing endless games of cribbage and cracking cans of cheap beer in between. Grey, once a passionate advocate for change, has been hardened and turned cynical by an activist culture she thinks has turned performative and lazy. One night, though, she has a revelation, and enlists Ezzy, who is hopelessly devoted to her but eager to avoid the authorities after a life in and out of the group home system and jail, for a bold yet dangerous political mission: capture a herd of bison from a national park and set them free in downtown Edmonton, disrupting the churn of settler routine. But as Grey becomes increasingly single-minded in her newfound calling, their act of protest puts the pair and those close to them in peril, with devastating and sometimes fatal consequences. For readers drawn to the electric storytelling of Morgan Talty and the taut register of Stephen Graham Jones, Conor Kerr's Prairie Edge is at once a gripping, darkly funny caper and a raw reckoning with the wounds that persist across generations."--- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Psychological fiction.; Social problem fiction.; Novels.; American bison; Bison; Cousins; Métis; Political activists;

- The Native American Renaissance. by Bernaud, Kristell,film director.; Green Planet Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Green Planet Films in 2024.From the vibrant, shimmering pow wows that bring together thousands of natives in New Mexico to the new oil El Dorado of the Dakotas, this documentary plunges into the America of the Amerindians. There are currently almost 10 million Native Americans in the United States. Once confined to reservations and condemned to poverty, they are now proudly reclaiming their culture. In North Dakota, the Fort Berthold tribe is profiting from the oil craze. Thanks to “black gold,” the Indian reservation has been transformed into a small American town with infrastructure and health insurance for all. A symbol of the new Indian success story, Sean Sherman was named among the 100 most influential personalities of 2023 by Time magazine. In his gourmet restaurant, recipes are made exclusively from ingredients present in the United States before the arrival of European settlers in the 17th century. Johnny Tail Feathers is trying to reconnect with his roots by reintroducing the sacred bison to the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Americans.; Foreign study.; Documentary films.; Indigenous peoples.; Ethnicity.; History.; Indians of North America.; Montana.; Racism.; United States--History.; New Mexico.;

- Turtle Island : foods and traditions of the Indigenous peoples of North America / by Sherman, Sean,1974-author.; Nelson, Kate(Journalist),author.; Donnelly, Kristin,author.; Alvarado, David,photographer.; Grey Eagle, Jaida,photographer.;
"Uncover the stories behind the foods that have linked the natural environments, traditions, and histories of Indigenous peoples across North America for millennia through more than 150 ancestral and modern recipes from three-time James Beard Award-winning Oglala Lakota chef Sean Sherman. Growing up on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation, Oglala Lakota chef Sean Sherman understood that his people's food was rich in flavour, heritage, and connection to the land. It was in the midst of a successful restaurant career mainly cooking European cuisines that he realized the lack of understanding about Native American foodways -- a revelation that sent him on a journey to learn more about how Indigenous communities have preserved and evolved their cuisines through the centuries. Now a leading figure in the Indigenous food movement, he guides readers through the unique and diverse Native foodways of North America, sharing both traditional and modern recipes made with ingredients that have nourished Indigenous peoples physically, spiritually, and culturally for generations. Organized by region, this book delves into the rich culinary landscapes of Turtle Island -- as many Indigenous cultures call this continent. Learn to eat with the land that surrounds you, focus on plant-forward dishes, and discover how to better feed yourself. Alongside delicious recipes like Smoked Bison Ribeye, Wild-Rice Crusted Walleye Cakes, Charred Rainbow Trout with Grilled Ramps, Sweet Potato Soup with Dried Venison and Chile Oil, Sunflower Seed "Risotto," and Sweet Corn Pudding with Woodland Berry Sauce (and so much more), you'll see the inspiring Indigenous food scene through Sean's eyes. Exemplifying how Native foodways can teach us all to connect with the natural world around us, Turtle Island features rich narrative histories and spotlights the communities producing, gathering, and cooking these foods, including remarkable stories of ingenuity and adaptation that capture the resilience of Indigenous communities"--- Subjects: Cookbooks.; Recipes.; Cooking; Indigenous peoples; First Nations; First Nations cooking.;
