DOWNLOAD EBOOKWalking in Indian Moccasins is the first work to offer adifferent view of the Tommy Douglas provincial government inSakatchewan: their policies, their applications, and theirshortcomings. Much more than that, however, it is a careful account ofthe development of Indian and Metis people in Saskatchewan in thepost-war period. The goal of the CCF was to 'walk in Indianmoccasins,' promising a degree of empathy with Native society inbringing about reforms. In reality, this aim was not always honoured inpractice and essentially meant integration for the Indians of theprovince and total assimilation for the Metis.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn her own singularly beautiful style, Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech intricately weaves together two tales, one funny, one bittersweet, to create a heartwarming, compelling, and utterly moving story of love, loss, and the complexity of human emotion. Thirteen-year-old Salamanca Tree Hiddle, proud of her country roots and the "Indian-ness in her blood," travels from Ohio to Idaho with her eccentric grandparents. Along the way, she tells them of the story of Phoebe Winterbottom, who received mysterious messages, who met a "potential lunatic," and whose mother disappeared. As Sal entertains her grandparents with Phoebe's outrageous story, her own story begins to unfold—the story of a thirteen-year-old girl whose only wish is to be reunited with her missing mother.
