In this fascinating memoir, written in the early years of the 20th century, Brodie describes life on what was still very much the frontier. Among the subjects described by Brodie are the Rebellion of 1837, making maple syrup in the bush, "Indian" raids, and, of course, the transatlantic crossing to Canada. John Steckley, anthropologist, sociologist, and author of numerous books, has carefully edited and annotated his great-great-great-uncle's original manuscript. The result is a fascinating look at early Ontario--a era less than two centuries in the past, yet in many ways an altogether different world from our own.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C841736</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C841736</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/841736125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781772441734/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[White Lies About the Inuit]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Inuit are a familiar part of Canadian identity but also exotic residing in the remote Arctic. The mix of the familiar and hte exotic has resulted in the creation and perpetuation of a number of "White lies." These are stories that have been developed over long periods of time, repeated, reproduced in classrooms, athropology and sociology textbooks, and other media, but have been rarely challenged, contributing to misunderstandings that have ultimately, in subtle ways, diminished the stature of Inuit traditional culture. ]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C442355</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C442355</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steckley, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/442355125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781551118758/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Wyandot Language]]></title><description><![CDATA[A dictionary about Wyandot language and structure.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C828130</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C828130</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steckley, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/828130125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Structure and Dictionary</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781495509193/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forty Narratives in the Wyandot Language]]></title><description><![CDATA["In 1911-1912, French-Canadian anthropologist Marius Barbeau spent a year recording forty texts in the Wyandot language as spoken by native speakers in Oklahoma. Though he intended to return and complete his linguistic study, he never did. More than a century later Forty Narratives in the Wyandot Language continues Barbeau's work. John Steckley provides an engaging analysis and fresh translation of the texts in order to preserve the traditional language and cultural heritage of the Wyandot or Wendat people. Leveraging four decades of studying the dialects of Wyandot and Wendat and his role as tribal linguist for the Wyandotte Nation, the author corrects errors in Barbeau's earlier text while adding personal anecdotes to provide readers with a unique comparative work. The stories in this collection, largely drawn from the traditional folklore of the Wyandot people and told in a language that has been dormant for decades, act as a time capsule for traditional tales, Indigenous history, humour, and Elder knowledge. Steckley's new translation not only aids Wyandot peoples of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Michigan in reclaiming their language but also gives researchers worldwide a rich, up-to-date reference for linguistic study. A significant literary record of a people and a language, Forty Narratives in the Wyandot Language is a major contribution to the preservation and revitalization of an Indigenous language in North America."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C686577</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C686577</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steckley, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/686577125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780228003625/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
