The Governor General Award-winning team behind  When We Were Alone  shares a story that honors our connections to our past and our grandfathers and fathers.  A boy and Moshom, his grandpa, take a trip together to visit a place of great meaning to Moshom. A trapline is where people hunt and live off the land, and it was where Moshom grew up. As they embark on their northern journey, the child repeatedly asks his grandfather,  Is this your trapline?  Along the way, the boy finds himself imagining what life was like two generations ago - a life that appears to be both different from and similar to his life now. This is a heartfelt story about memory, imagination and intergenerational connection that perfectly captures the experience of a young child's wonder as he is introduced to places and stories that hold meaning for his family."]]></description><link>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C1397440</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C1397440</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Robertson, David A.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1397440095</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735266698/MC.GIF&amp;client=calgp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ligne de trappe]]></title><link>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C1414975</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C1414975</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[fre]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Robertson, David]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1414975095</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle/><language>fre</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781443191890/MC.GIF&amp;client=calgp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we had sled dogs : a story from the trapline]]></title><description><![CDATA[This story takes readers on a journey into the past when dog teams were part of the traditional way of life in Northern Saskatchewan.

There have been many Clayton Thomas-Mullers: The child who played with toy planes as an escape from domestic and sexual abuse, enduring the intergenerational trauma of Canada's residential school system; the angry youngster who defended himself with fists and sharp wit against racism and violence, at school and on the streets of Winnipeg and small-town British Columbia; the tough teenager who, at 17, managed a drug house run by members of his family, and slipped in and out of juvie, operating in a world of violence and pain. But behind them all, there was another Clayton: the one who remained immersed in Cree spirituality, and who embraced the rituals and ways of thinking vital to his heritage; the one who reconnected with the land during summer visits to his great-grandparents' trapline in his home territory of Pukatawagan in northern Manitoba. And it's this version of Clayton that ultimately triumphed, finding healing by directly facing the trauma that he shares with Indigenous peoples around the world. Now a leading organizer and activist on the frontlines of environmental resistance, Clayton brings his warrior spirit to the fight against the ongoing assault on Indigenous peoples' lands by Big Oil. Tying together personal stories of survival that bring the realities of Canada's First Nations into sharp focus, and lessons learned from a career as a frontline activist committed to addressing environmental injustice at a global scale, Thomas-Muller offers a narrative and vision of healing and responsibility.]]></description><link>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C1418448</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C1418448</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Thomas-Muller, Clayton]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1418448095</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>A Memoir of Healing</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735243989/MC.GIF&amp;client=calgp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grounded Authority]]></title><description><![CDATA[ "Since Justin Trudeau's election in 2015, Canada has been hailed internationally as embarking on a truly progressive, post-postcolonial era--including an improved relationship between the state and its Indigenous peoples. Shiri Pasternak corrects this misconception, showing that colonialism is very much alive in Canada. From the perspective of Indigenous law and jurisdiction, she tells the story of the Algonquins of Barriere Lake, in western Quebec, and their tireless resistance to federal land claims policy. Grounded Authority chronicles the band's ongoing attempts to restore full governance over its lands and natural resources through an agreement signed by settler governments almost three decades ago--an agreement the state refuses to fully implement. Pasternak argues that the state's aversion to recognizing Algonquin jurisdiction stems from its goal of perfecting its sovereignty by replacing the inherent jurisdiction of Indigenous peoples with its own, delegated authority. From police brutality and fabricated sexual abuse cases to an intervention into and overthrow of a customary government, Pasternak provides a compelling, richly detailed account of rarely documented coercive mechanisms employed to force Indigenous communities into compliance with federal policy. A rigorous account of the incredible struggle fought by the Algonquins to maintain responsibility over their territory, Grounded Authority provides a powerful alternative model to one nation's land claims policy and a vital contribution to current debates in the study of colonialism and Indigenous peoples in North America and globally -- Provided by publisher."]]></description><link>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C1328498</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C1328498</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pasternak, Shiri]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1328498095</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Algonquins of Barriere Lake Against the State</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780816698325/MC.GIF&amp;client=calgp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Me Sexy]]></title><link>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C792128</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C792128</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/792128095</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>An Exploration of Native Sex and Sexuality</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781926685731/MC.GIF&amp;client=calgp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I'm A Moshom]]></title><description><![CDATA[This companion to the Governor General's Award-winning picture book On the Trapline is a loving and inspiring ode to grandparents.

Deep in the night, when James should be sleeping, he tosses and turns. He thinks about big questions, like why we don't feel dizzy when the Earth spins. He looks at the stars outside his bedroom and thinks about the Night Sky Stories his kōkom has told him. He imagines being a moshom himself. On nights like these, he follows the moonlit path to his mother's bedroom. They talk and they cuddle, and they fall asleep just like that. One day, James's kōkom takes him on a special walk with a big group of people. It's called a march, and it ends in front of a big pile of things: teddy bears, flowers, tobacco ties and little shoes. Kōkom tells him that this is a memorial in honor of Indigenous children who had gone to residential schools and boarding schools but didn't come home. He learns that his kōkom was taken away to one of these schools with her sister, who also didn't come home. That night, James can't sleep so he follows the moonlit path to his mother. She explains to James that at residential school when Kōkom felt alone, she had her sister to cuddle, just like they do. And James falls asleep gathered in his mother's arms. Includes an author note discussing the inspiration for the book.]]></description><link>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C1717335</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C1717335</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Robertson, David A.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1717335095</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781774881736/MC.GIF&amp;client=calgp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those Who Know]]></title><description><![CDATA[The elders in  Those Who Know  have devoted their lives to preserving the wisdom and spirituality of their ancestors.
