By Maracle, Lee2016., Adult, Cormorant Books Call No: IND Fic Mar Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Mink is a witness, a shape shifter, compelled to follow the story that has ensnared Celia and her village, on the West coast of Vancouver Island in Nu: Chahlnuth territory. Celia is a seer who - despite being convinced she's a little "off" - must heal her village with the assistance of her sister, her mother and father, and her nephews.

By Maracle, Lee1996., General, Press Gang Publishers Call No: IND 305.89 M298i Edition: Revised 2nd ed. Availability:0 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: A revised edition of Lee Maracle's visionary book which links teaching of her First Nations heritage with feminism. "I Am Woman represents my personal struggle with womanhood, culture, traditional spiritual beliefs and political sovereignty, written during a time when that struggle was not over. My original intention was to empower Native women to take to heart their own personal struggle for Native feminist being. The changes made in this second edition of the text do not alter my original intention. It remains my attempt to present a Native woman's sociological perspective on the impacts of colonialism on us, as women, and on my self personally."--From the author.

2017., Adult, BookThug Call No: IND 819.4 M314m Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: Essais (Toronto, Ont.) Volume: no. 4.Summary Note: "My Conversations With Canadians is the book that "Canada 150" needs. On her first book tour at the age of 26, Lee Maracle was asked a question from the audience, one she couldn't possibly answer at that moment. But she has been thinking about it ever since. As time has passed, she has been asked countless similar questions, all of them too big to answer, but not too large to contemplate. These questions, which touch upon subjects such as citizenship, segregation, labour, law, predjudice and reconcilliation (to name a few), are the heart of My Conversations with Canadians. In prose essays that are both conversational and direct, Maracle seeks not to provide any answers to these questions she has lived with for so long. Rather, she thinks through each one using a multitude of experiences she's had as a Canadian, a First Nations leader, a woman and mother and grandmother over the course of her life. Lee Maracle's My Conversations with Canadians presents a tour de force exploration into the writer's own history and a re-imagining of the future of our nation"--Provided by publisher.
