A Canadian Shame - The Indian Act and Residential Schools

A Canadian Shame - The Indian Act and Residential Schools

Darren Grimes

Adultbrain Publishing
2024
pokkari
A Canadian Shame is a disturbing collection of information that forces every reader to meditate on the atrocities of government and institutions. Grimes's heritage and personal experience make him the perfect author for this book, but the superior documentation is what makes it as credible as it is fascinating. Although a light is being shined into a very dark corner of our society, one still walks away with a knowledge that truth and love will bring all of humanity together. An uncomfortable story can be a powerful catalyst for unity. Find out all about the Indian Act, Residential Schools, Indigenous child welfare, unmarked graves and more in the comprehensive, extremely well sourced, overview of the last 150 years of Canada and the Indian Act. Starlight tours, missing and murdered indigenous women, and the charge of genocide are all explored in an informative and concise way (under 200 pages). Filled with quotes, legislation, correspondence, historical information this book is a must have for anyone interested in the relationship between Canada and the Indigenous people for the bibliography alone. From the inception of the Indian Act to residential schools, from the potlach ban to the sixties scoop, right up to the present day. A Canadian Shame is filled with the highlights of atrocities that every Canadian should know, up until the apologies finally offered over the last decade. from the back of the book... In A Canadian Shame, Darren Grimes has collected and presented overwhelming evidence which shows beyond doubt that a monster bent on the complete destruction of the Indigenous peoples of Canada ( First Nations, Inuit, Metis, and all the other Aboriginal inhabitants of the land) has been devouring not only men and women but also children of those cultures, that this monster has been doing so for hundreds of years, that this destruction has been deliberate and systematic rather than accidental or unintended, and that lethal aspects of it continue right up to the present day.

In Their Own Words - Testimony from the Students of Canada's Indigenous Residential School Program

In Their Own Words - Testimony from the Students of Canada's Indigenous Residential School Program

What is the cost of an education? Is education an additive process or a reductive one? How does one weigh the benefits of tradition against the threat of being at odds with the future? How does one refuse the offer of a better life for their children? What if the offer is compulsory? What happens when the tree of knowledge bares rotten fruit? While the history of Canada's Residential School program is only just beginning to be unearthed, there are already enough first hand accounts to begin asking some of these questions. The words of the individuals included in this book offer just a glimpse of the results of the effort of one group of people to educate people who were in many cases not seeking the knowledge being offered. These are tales of lessons learned, languages lost, traditions replaced, & charity corrupted.

Our Home and (Native?) Land

Our Home and (Native?) Land

Darren Grimes

Adultbrain Publishing
2024
pokkari
In Our Home and Native Land: The Struggle for Indigenous Land Rights in Canada, Darren Grimes presents a deeply researched and eye-opening account of the ongoing battle Indigenous communities face in reclaiming their ancestral lands. This book explores the historical context of land dispossession, the role of treaties, and the long-standing legal, political, and social efforts to reclaim what was stolen. Grimes weaves together historical events, contemporary legal cases, and Indigenous resistance movements to provide a compelling narrative about the resilience of Indigenous peoples and their unyielding connection to the land. From the Royal Proclamation of 1763 to modern-day land disputes, Our Home and Native Land highlights the injustices faced by Indigenous communities and outlines pathways toward a future where Indigenous land rights are fully recognized and respected.Back-of-the-Book: "The land was not just a resource to be exploited, but a living entity that Indigenous peoples cared for and respected for thousands of years."For millennia, Indigenous peoples in what is now Canada lived in harmony with their lands. Then came colonization-a campaign of dispossession that severed the deep spiritual and cultural ties Indigenous communities had with their territories. Our Home and Native Land delves into the dark history of land theft, forced treaties, and ongoing struggles to reclaim land rights. This book examines the legal, political, and cultural battles that Indigenous peoples continue to fight, shedding light on the deep-rooted issues that still affect their communities today.As Canada confronts its colonial past, this book serves as both a reminder and a call to action. Reconciliation cannot be achieved without returning what was unjustly taken: the land.

2004
sidottu
This path-breaking book considers the recent trend for governments to look increasingly to private sector finance, provided by private enterprises constructing and managing public infrastructure facilities in partnership with government bodies. One outstanding feature of the book is that it brings together an academic assessment of this phenomenon with practitioner-based experience of organizing partnerships and advising government bodies in Australia, Canada, Continental Europe, Hong Kong and the UK. While the volume, as a whole, draws on this extensive experience of the market, there are also a number of specific case studies. Developments in the major advanced countries are covered, along with the potential for public private partnerships in developing countries and transition economies.Combining practitioner knowledge and academic perspective and integrating engineering, economics and finance literature, Public Private Partnerships will be of great interest to economists, engineers, investment banks and government bodies.

Global Developments in Public Infrastructure Procurement

Global Developments in Public Infrastructure Procurement

Darrin Grimsey; Mervyn K. Lewis

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd
2017
sidottu
This book provides an up-to-date study of public infrastructure in terms of the selection, procurement and delivery of projects. There is widespread acceptance that infrastructure is vital and needs increasing, yet less agreement about how it should be funded and procured. This book assesses in detail the features of various procurement options while also providing a framework for comparing their advantages and disadvantages. Drawing on international experiences and case studies, Darrin Grimsey and Mervyn Lewis consider some of the best and worst examples of public-private partnerships, new funding methods and infrastructure megaprojects. By offering a conceptual basis for infrastructure decision-making, the authors identify ways to improve infrastructure procurement processes. Focusing on urbanization as a driver of innovation in infrastructure, both the historical context and the future prospects of public infrastructure are analysed. Significantly, the book also examines China's ambitious plans to create a 'high-speed rail economy' and its Belt and Road Initiative across Asia that offers an interesting contrast to infrastructure developments in the United States and other advanced economies. Global Developments in Public Infrastructure Procurement is an essential source of reference for academics and students of economics, public sector finance and urban infrastructure.

Darren Aronofsky's Noah

Darren Aronofsky's Noah

Aronofsky Darren

Rizzoli International Publications
2014
sidottu
Following on the heels of his successful film Black Swan, celebrated filmmaker Darren Aronofsky turns his talent to the epic big-budget biblical tradition with his film Noah. Noah (Russell Crowe) attempts to tell his people to cease their mistreatment of the earth in order to be saved. No one listens to his warnings, and Noah and his family are cast out to fend for themselves in the wilderness. Noah approaches a race of giant six-armed angels known as the Watchers to rally them to his cause. The film touches on themes found throughout Aronofsky's work - dichotomy of life/death, inner turmoil, otherness - presented with the iconic Aronofsky singular and compelling aesthetic. This film book is an extension of Aronofsky's otherworldly sensibilities; it showcases art from the film and the director at work, and is a must-have for fans of Aronofsky and of cinema everywhere.

Primary Information
2015
pokkari
This volume of writings by New York conceptualist Darren Bader (born 1978) features texts for 77 artworks. Writing is at the core of Bader's work: he offers deceptively simple propositions for artworks to be carried out by gallerists, museums and collectors who then exhibit the works. Each time a work is sold, Bader produces a text that explains the parameters of the artwork. The propositions can be extremely precise or abstract; however, these guides are not made available to the public. Bader has also written propositions for impossible artworks, such as a proposal for installing a baby-changing table under Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" at the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. This book foregrounds Bader's writing and provides a key to his humorous and sometimes enigmatic works.
