Ce n’etait pas nous les sauvages Le choc centre les civilisations europeennes et autochtones
Publisher: Bouton d'or Acadie$29.95As a person of First Nation ancestry I cannot help but wonder if the failure of Caucasian Americans and Canadians to reveal and teach about the horrors their ancestors carried out against North American First Nation Peoples is a deliberate cover-up, or an indication they hold within their minds a notion the life of a First Nation person is valueless—not worthy of human considerations. The latter is probably the more plausible, because it is an unchallengeable fact that the crimes against humanity committed against our peoples over the centuries by people of European descent are not viewed with the same abhorrence by Caucasians that such crimes against other races of people are viewed. If such were the case there would be unconditional condemnation of it, and the knowledge would be readily available and taught in schools. -FROM THE INTRODUCTION
This updated edition incorporates Daniel Paul’s ongoing research. It clearly and profoundly shows that the horrors of history still rain upon the First Nations people of the present.

Mère(s) et monde
Publisher: Bouton d'or Acadie$13.95No, my son doesn’t have a father!
From the delivery room where her son was born to the classrooms where he learns, a woman to whom motherhood status is refused explains: her son doesn’t have a father, but he’s got two mothers. She is the other mother. A (m)other, but there is no space for that on the forms, no space for that in the minds of her peers, and no space for that in the minds of the kids who play with her son at school.
Adapted from a 2018 CBC Poetry Prize shortlisted poem, this book tells, with tenderness and accuracy, the difficulties that homoparental families face in being accepted for what they are: loving families.

La bonne idée!

It’s a trip that will give her a chance to appreciate how fortunate she is, and put her little aggravations into perspective. What’s more, she has an idea that will take shape while she’s there–one which will make her parents proud and make Océanne herself a partner in their market venture.
