Benjamin's thunderstorm / by Florence, Melanie.; Pichette, Hawlii.;
"Benjamin loves the rain. He loves splashing in puddles and kicking the droplets. And most of all, he loves the sound of thunder because it reminds him of the drum his grandfather plays at powwow. There's nothing better than being outside in the rain, enjoying all the colors and sounds of the storm -- until the lightning comes. Benjamin doesn't like the lightning at all! But when he closes his eyes and listens to the sound of the thunder, he imagines himself as a powwow dancer, dancing in time to the beat of the drum, not scared of anything. Featuring Cree words interwoven into the story, and a pronunciation guide in backmatter, this inviting picture book is a warm celebration of drumming, dancing and the joy of jumping in puddles"--

Kâ-pî-isi-kiskisiyân = The way I remember / by Ratt, Solomon,author,translator.; Ogg, Arden C.(Arden Catherine),1960-editor,writer of introduction.; container of (expression):Ratt, Solomon.Kâ-pî-isi-kiskisiyân.English.; container of (work):Ratt, Solomon.Kâ-pî-isi-kiskisiyân.;
"A residential school survivor finds his way back to his language and culture through his family's traditional stories. When reflecting on forces that have shaped his life, Solomon Ratt says his education was interrupted by his schooling. Torn from his family at the age of six, Ratt was placed into the residential school system--far from the love and comfort of home and family. In The Way I Remember, Ratt reflects on these memories and the life-long challenges he endured through his telling of autobiographical stories and traditional tales. In many ways, these stories reflect the experience of thousands of other Indigenous children across Canada, but Ratt's stories also stand apart in a significant way: despite the destruction wrought by colonialism, he managed to retain his mother language of Cree by returning home to his parents each summer. Ratt then shifts from the âcimisowina (personal, autobiographical stories) to âcathôhkîwina (sacred stories), the more formal and commonly recognized style of traditional Cree literature, to illustrate how, in a world uninterrupted by colonialism and its agenda of genocide, these traditional stories would have formed the winter curriculum of a Cree child's education. Presented in Cree th-dialect standard roman orthography, syllabics, and English, Ratt's particularly Cree sense of humour shines, making kâ-pî-isi-kiskisiyân / The Way I Remember an important and unique memoir that emphasizes and celebrates Solomon Ratt's perseverance and life after residential school."--

A two-spirit journey : the autobiography of a lesbian Ojibwa-Cree elder. by Chacaby, Ma-Nee.;
"A Two-Spirit Journey is Ma-Nee Chacaby's extraordinary account of her life as an Ojibwa-Cree lesbian. From her early, often harrowing memories of life and abuse in a remote Ojibwa community riven by poverty and alcoholism, Chacaby's story is one of enduring and ultimately overcoming the social, economic, and health legacies of colonialism. As a child, Chacaby learned spiritual and cultural traditions from her Cree grandmother and trapping, hunting, and bush survival skills from her Ojibwa stepfather. She also suffered physical and sexual abuse by different adults, and in her teen years became alcoholic herself. At twenty, Chacaby moved to Thunder Bay with her children to escape an abusive marriage. Abuse, compounded by racism, continued, but Chacaby found supports to help herself and others. Over the following decades, she achieved sobriety; trained and worked as an alcoholism counsellor; raised her children and fostered many others; learned to live with visual impairment; and came out as a lesbian. In 2013, Chacaby led the first gay pride parade in Thunder Bay. Ma-Nee Chacaby has emerged from hardship grounded in faith, compassion, humour, and resilience. Her memoir provides unprecedented insights into the challenges still faced by many Indigenous people."--Library Bound Incorporated
