- Seed to plate, soil to sky : modern plant-based recipes using Native American ingredients / by Frank, Lois Ellen,author.;
- Includes bibliographical references and index.Some food historians say that 1491 to 1493 are the years the world began--in terms of food. Prior to 1492, eight plants-corn, beans, squash, chile, tomato, potato, vanilla, and cacao-existed only in the Americas. Italy didn't have the tomato; Ireland didn't have the potato, nor Russia the vodka distilled from it; and there were no chiles in South Asia. When these ingredients crossed the ocean, they drastically transformed the way the Old World would eat and cook forever. Yet the average American, even those who cook with these foods regularly, doesn't know this history. Seed to Plate, Soil to Sky introduces the splendor and importance of Native culinary history and pairs it with delicious Native American-inspired dishes. Grounded in a primer on Native American cuisine and with a necessary discussion of food sovereignty and sustainability, Seed to Plate, Soil to Sky shares more than 100 nutritious, plant based recipes organized by each of the foundational ingredients. Grounded in Southwestern flavors, recipes like Blue Corn Hotcakes with Prickly Pear Syrup, Three Sisters Stew, and Green Chile Enchilada Lasagna, share the page-and plate-with essential basics like Corn Masa, Red and Green Chile Sauces, and Cacao Spice Rub for a thoughtful, delicious celebration of Native foods.

- Originally produced by Les Films du 3 Mars in 2024.RED FEVER is a witty and entertaining feature documentary about the profound -- yet hidden -- Indigenous influence on Western culture and identity. The film follows Cree co-director Neil Diamond as he asks, “Why do they love us so much?!” and sets out on a journey to find out why the world is so fascinated with the stereotypical imagery of Native people that is all over pop culture. Why have Indigenous cultures been revered, romanticized, and appropriated for so long, and to this day? RED FEVER uncovers the surprising truths behind the imagery -- so buried in history that even most Native people don't know about them.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

- The lobster trap : the global fight for a seafood on the brink / by Mercer, Greg,author.;
- Includes bibliographical references and index."A page-turning examination of how a multi-billion dollar industry creates enormous wealth and endless heartache, at a time when climate change, swings in the market, and greed are impacting fishermen's livelihoods in new and dramatic ways. Lobster has been a phenomenal success story, with a commercial fishery that has generated enormous wealth and fuelled global appetites for one of the world's most recognizable luxury foods. The great lobster boom that began in the 1990s has also led to violent fights over who has the right to catch North America's most valuable seafood, including for Canada's Indigenous people who until now have been excluded from this industry. But overfishing and climate change are pushing lobster toward a cliff. By 2050, it's expected that warming ocean waters in the Gulf of Maine will cut lobster populations by two thirds. In places like Maine, the heart of America's lobster industry, fishermen who don't see a future in lobster are already selling their boats and becoming farmers, growing kelp and raising oysters. Unlike previous fishery collapses, there's no other large-scale wild seafood species left that fishermen can switch to. The economic upheaval expected to follow the decline of lobster will devastate coastal communities in both Canada and the U.S. that have come to rely so much on it. Greg Mercer takes readers on a global journey inside this precarious moment for the lobster industry, to show the money and heartache, and the danger and violence, tied up in it. Along the way, he explores lobster's remarkable history, the gold-rush mentality that surrounds it, and examines what the future holds for this most precious shellfish"--

- Raw dog : the naked truth about hot dogs / by Loftus, Jamie,author.;
- Includes bibliographical references."Part travelogue, part culinary history, all capitalist critique--comedian Jamie Loftus's debut, Raw Dog, will take you on a cross-country road trip in the summer of 2021, and reveal what the creation, culture, and class influence of hot dogs says about America now. Hot dogs. Poor people created them. Rich people found a way to charge fifteen dollars for them. They're high culture, they're low culture, they're sports food, they're kids' food, they're hangover food, and they're deeply American, despite having no basis whatsoever in America's Indigenous traditions. You can love them, you can hate them, but you can't avoid the great American hot dog. Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs is part investigation into the cultural and culinary significance of hot dogs and part travelog documenting a cross-country road trip researching them as they're served today. From avocado and spice in the West to ass-shattering chili in the East to an entire salad on a slice of meat in Chicago, Loftus, her pets, and her ex eat their way across the country during the strange summer of 2021. It's a brief window into the year between waves of a plague that the American government has the resources to temper, but not the interest. So grab a dog, lay out your picnic blanket, and dig into the delicious and inevitable product of centuries of violence, poverty, and ambition, now rolling around at your local 7-Eleven."--

- Manicouagan. by Beaudet, Nadine,film director.; Spira (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
- Originally produced by Spira in 2025.A driven but intimate work, this film recounts the history of Manicouagan (North Shore, Quebec) a legendary territory shaped by the impact of an asteroid 215 million years ago. From the St. Lawrence River to north of the 51st parallel, the legendary Route 389 brings us to the heart of this meteor crater to meet some extraordinary individuals (astrophysicists, geologists, truck-stop manager, hikers). Digging deep into their memories, the Innu of Pessamit tell of the dispossession of their ancestral lands, which were flooded by the construction of the big hydro dams, leading to the disorientation of the young people from their community. After choosing to live in the boreal forest at the feet of the Uapishka Mountains, a guide and a hermit reveal their powerful connection with nature. In this non-linear narrative with many faces, the land speaks out and questions the traces we humans leave behind us.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
