For too long, stories and artistic expressions from Indigenous people have been written and recorded by others, not by the individuals who have experienced the events. In Ours to Tell, sixteen Indigenous creators relate traditions, accounts of historical events, and their own lived experiences. Novelists, poets, graphic artists, historians, craftspeople, and mapmakers chronicle stories on the struggles and triumphs lived by Indigenous people, and the impact these stories have had on their culture and history. Some of the profiles included are: Indigenous poet E. Pauline Johnson, acclaimed novelist Tommy Orange, brave warrior Standing Bear, poet and activist Rita Joe. With each profile accompanied by rich visuals, from archival photos to contemporary art, Ours to Tell brilliantly spotlights Indigenous life, past and present, through an Indigenous lens. Because each profile gives an historical and cultural context, what emerges is a history of Indigenous people.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C640552</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C640552</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Yellowhorn, Eldon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/640552108</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Reclaiming Indigenous Stories</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[An Anthology of Remarkable Bugs]]></title><description><![CDATA[Marvel at the perfectly camouflaged leaf insect that sways in the breeze and the ogre-faced spider that catches its prey in a net in this ... collection that showcases more than 90 of the world's most remarkable bugs.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C640584</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C640584</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[French, Jess]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/640584108</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indigenous Rights in One Minute]]></title><description><![CDATA[Internationally renowned as an expert in Aboriginal law and an advocate for Indigenous rights, Bruce McIvor delivers concise, essential information for Canadians committed to truth and reconciliation.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C640585</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C640585</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[McIvor, Bruce]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/640585108</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>What You Need to Know to Talk Reconciliation</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Aviation Nation]]></title><description><![CDATA[Aviation Nation tells the history of aviation in Canada in the context of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF).

In Range, David Epstein carefully examines the world's most successful people and discovers that in most fields--especially those that are complex and unpredictable-- by far the greatest athletes, artists, musicians, and scientists are those who have garnered a wide skillset beginning at a young age, not those who specialized early in one skill. Carefully adapted for young readers, this book follows inspirational stories of athletes, artists, scientists, and other accomplished adults across many disciplines and provides you with the tools to tap into your limitless potential. How will you expand your range?

Starting in 1951, Indigenous children in Canada were taken by social welfare agencies from their families and placed in the care of non-Indigenous families. These children grew up without their birth families, cultural roots, and language. Many tried to run away and some died in the attempt. The taking of the children is known as the Sixties Scoop, though the policies and practices started before the 1960s and lasted long after.
