A Film by D.S. Red Haircrow. “Most films about Indigenous people concentrate on European narratives

or Indigenous experience in North America but there are Natives abroad and being “loved in the wrong

way” in “Indian crazy” Germany has many forms. Germany is a microcosm of struggles taking place

across the world against and and for decolonization; for correcting white privilege and supremacy that’s

divided and helped destroy our world. We explore the roots of racism, colonialism, and appropriation in

Germany from a rarely considered perspective: the Native American stereotype they infamously adore.

Catered Event with vegetarian and non vegetarian options *Please note that for students and the elderly

Indigenous artists and the art market. "Norval Morrisseau and the influence of the Indian Group of

Seven" Faye HeavyShield, Nadia Kurd, Bonnie Devine & Michelle LaVallee. The Indian Group of Seven

a play on the Canadian Group of Seven was an important advocacy group of Indigenous artists that

began in 1973 with Daphne Odjig, Alex Janvier, Jackson Beardy, Eddy Cobiness, Norval Morrisseau,

Carl Ray and Joseph Sanchez. This panel will address the influence of this group and Morrisseau’s role

within it. "The intersection between Indigenous worldview/ceremony and art: The development of the

Woodland Style" Barry Ace, Maria Campbell, Peter Morin. Prior to contact, Indigenous people did not

differentiate the concept of art from ceremony. After contact and the development of the term Indigenous

contemporary art, how has the concept of art/ceremony changed if at all? "Woodland today…" Christian

Chapman, Donna Langhorne, Quill Christie Peters. The Woodland School of art formulated by

Morrisseau has become widely accepted by dominant western Canada as ‘Indian art.’ How have artists

resisted western notions of Indigenous art and integrated their own ideas and worldviews to disrupt and

North Battleford: Canola: A Story of Canadian Innovation (until March 1, 2019) - Highways 16 and

40

It does not get any more Canadian than Canola! Canada / ola (oil low acid). How does a plant breeding

innovation become, in just a few decades, the most profitable commodity for Canadian farmers? Part of

its success is due to its versatility – this crop is used as a healthy culinary oil, a protein source for

animals, to power cars and much more. Today, the canola industry contributes billions of dollars to the

Canadian economy! Produced by the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum to mark the 50th

anniversary of this ‘Made in Canada’ crop, Canola explores the science behind the development,

cultivation and future of this crop, as well as its uses in industries from food processing to transportation.

Discover Canola through your five senses and immerse yourself within the environments of the two

bright yellow pod-shaped structures - a canola field, and a processing plant.

Ogiiyose, Noojigiigoo’iwe gaye Dibinawaag Nibiing Onji/Stories of the Old Ones: Hunter and Fisher

From Sheltered Water sits at the intersection of Indigenous Science and Indigenous art with non-

ancestor whose remains were found eroding on the banks for the Lee River in Manitoba. Written by

10 of 15

Kevin Brownlee, Curator of Archaeology at the Manitoba Museum, this book is a very personal

description of his journey from recovery to reburial with a man we’ve come to know as the Two Eagles

Ancestor. One hundred and eighty-four beautifully illustrated pages. Hard cover. $39.99 CDN, available

through the Manitoba Museum Bookstore.

Published in 2018 by the State Historical Society of North Dakota, Traces: Early Peoples of North

Dakota covers the archaeology of what is now North Dakota. The story begins with a group of people

who stored stone tools near Beach 13,500 years ago and examines the archaeological record until

1880. The book, authored by Barbara Handy-Marchello and Fern E. Swenson, expands upon exhibits in

the Innovation Gallery: Early Peoples at the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum, providing

greater depth to discoveries explaining where people came from, their work, and innovations that

propelled them into modern times. The 128-page book is beautifully illustrated with images of objects

from State Historical Society collections and original paintings and maps. The project was made

possible by generous funding by the PaleoCultural Research Group and the US Forest Service,

Department of Agriculture. Available from the North Dakota State Heritage Centre & State Museum.

A full-colour, comprehensive look at all of the birds that call Saskatchewan home. 437 species of birds

are documented in this 800 page compendium, a result of over ten years of work and several lifetimes

of observation, research, and writing. This work celebrates Saskatchewan's rich natural heritage, and

acknowledges the efforts made to study and sustain each bird's presence in the province. It is a record

of change - of the birds who have come, those who remain, and those whose habitats are affected by

changes in the environment. Birds of Saskatchewan is indebted to the long-time editors of the project.

Lead author/co-editor Alan R. Smith is the scientist, the keeper of data, and provincial documenter. Here

he joins his mentors C. Stuart Houston, bird bander, history lover, and prolific author, and Houston's

long-time friend, collaborator, and editor J. Frank Roy, whose passion for birds, words, and images has

helped to make this a publication that we hope readers will appreciate. Take a look inside!

FOR A LIMITED TIME: Receive a discount on the purchase of Birds of Saskatchewan before it's

published. You can pre-order the book from the Nature Saskatchewan online store.
