- Broken circle : the dark legacy of Indian residential schools / by Fontaine, Theodore,1941-author.; Woolford, Andrew John,1971-writer of foreword.;
- "A new commemorative edition of Theodore Fontaine's powerful, groundbreaking memoir of survival and healing after years of residential school abuse. Originally published in 2010, Broken Circle: The Dark Legacy of Indian Residential Schools chronicles the impact of Theodore Fontaine's harrowing experiences at Fort Alexander and Assiniboia Indian Residential Schools, including psychological, emotional, and sexual abuse; disconnection from his language and culture; and the loss of his family and community. Told as remembrances infused with insights gained through his long healing process, Fontaine goes beyond the details of the abuse that he suffered to relate a unique understanding of why most residential school survivors have post-traumatic stress disorders and why succeeding generations of Indigenous children suffer from this dark chapter in history. With a new foreword by Andrew Woolford, professor of sociology and criminology at the University of Manitoba, this commemorative edition will continue to serve as a powerful testament to survival, self-discovery, and healing"--

- Restorying your story : reclaiming your voice in the face of past injustice / by Gauthier, Michael,author.;
- Includes bibliographical references.The stories we tell ourselves about our lives matter. How we make sense of the past affects how we make sense of the present -- it can mean the difference between continuing patterns of harm and being the one to break the cycle. Scholar and author Michael Gauthier knows this struggle intimately. As a young Indigenous man grappling with the lasting effects of colonialism and intergenerational trauma, Michael turned to addiction to ease the pain and found himself in the prison system. In the intervening years, Michael has worked to understand how Indigenous people can find empowerment through the act of restorying their own lives. Gauthier draws on his PhD research in which he carried out Restorying circles using the Medicine Wheel as a guide to help formerly incarcerated Indigenous men map a new future by looking to their past. Now in Restorying Your Story, Gauthier invites readers to explore the universal application of restorying, and how it can be a powerful tool for all of us to build a good life.

- "A gripping sci-fi thriller and Native American First Contact story. Heliopause is a real place-the very outer edge of our solar system where the sun's solar winds are no longer strong enough to keep debris and intrusions from bombarding our system. It is the farthest edge of our protected boundary (it was recently crossed by Voyager), and the line beyond which space experts look for extraterrestrial presences. This is where Daniel Wilson's fascinating novel begins. Weaving together the story of Jim, a down-on-his-luck absentee father in the Osage territory of Oklahoma, and his daughter, Tawny, with those of a NASA engineer, a misfit anonymous genius who lives in military isolation analyzing a secret incoming "Pattern," and a CIA investigator tasked with tracking unexplained encounters, Hole in the Sky explores a Native American first contact that pulls all five characters into something never before seen or imagined"-- Provided by publisher.
