Download or read book Whadoo tehmi / Long-ago people's packsack written by Suzan Marie and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated book profiles the legacy and artistry of the traditional Dene babiche bag. Once a commonplace item in every Dene home, the art of the babiche bag—a netted bag made of caribou thong—was all but lost until the recent grassroots revival described in this book. Although intended for practical use, these bags were often beautifully decorated with porcupine quillwork, fringes and embroidery, as demonstrated in the book’s numerous photographs. Details of construction round out this fascinating look at an enduring craft, providing inspiration and instruction for scholars and artisans alike.
Book Synopsis Whadoo Tehmi Long-ago People's Packsack by : Suzan Marie
Download or read book Whadoo Tehmi Long-ago People's Packsack written by Suzan Marie and published by Gatineau, Québec : Canadian Museum of Civilization. This book was released on 2004 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In earlier times, net bags made from caribou thong--today known as "babiche bags"--were commonplace items in Dene homes. Although intended for practical use, these bags were often beautifully decorated with porcupine quillwork, fringes, and colored patterns in the netting. Babiche bags were used by the Dene until the early twentieth century. Gradually, however, as imported substitutes became available, the Dene ceased to make their netted thong bags. In 1998, Suzan Marie initiated a project to revive this craft. Assisted by elder-instructors, she held workshops in several small Dene communities. The Canadian Museum of Civilization participated by supplying research information and photographs of museum examples. Today, babiche bags are once again being made by Dene artists. This book describes the role babiche bags played in Dene lives during an earlier time and traces the modern revival of the craft. It is richly illustrated with photographs of babiche bags, both old and new. Also included are descriptions and illustrations of the techniques involved in making a babiche bag. This will be a resource to all who are interested in Dene culture and heritage. It will also serve as a practical guide to artisans wishing to make their own Dene babiche bag.
Book Synopsis The Idea of a Human Rights Museum by : Karen Busby
Download or read book The Idea of a Human Rights Museum written by Karen Busby and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Idea of a Human Rights Museum" is the first book to examine the formation of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and to situate the museum within the context of the international proliferation of such institutions. Sixteen essays consider the wider political, cultural and architectural contexts within which the museum physically and conceptually evolved drawing comparisons between the CMHR and institutions elsewhere in the world that emphasize human rights and social justice. This collection brings together authors from diverse fields—law, cultural studies, museum studies, sociology, history, political science, and literature—to critically assess the potentials and pitfalls of human rights education through “ideas” museums. Accessible, engaging, and informative, the collection’s essays will encourage museum-goers to think more deeply about the content of human rights exhibits. The Idea of a Human Rights Museum is the first title in the University of Manitoba Press’s Human Rights and Social Justice Series. This series publishes work that explores the quest for social justice and the basic rights and freedoms to which all human beings are entitled, including civil, political, economic, social, collective, and cultural rights.
Book Synopsis First Nations, Museums, Narrations by : Alison K. Brown
Download or read book First Nations, Museums, Narrations written by Alison K. Brown and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Franklin Motor Expedition set out across the Canadian Prairies to collect First Nations artifacts, brutal assimilation policies threatened to decimate these cultures and extensive programs of ethnographic salvage were in place. Despite having only three members, the expedition amassed the largest single collection of Prairie heritage items currently housed in a British museum. Through the voices of descendants of the collectors and members of the affected First Nations, this book looks at the relationships between indigenous peoples and the museums that display their cultural artifacts, raising timely and essential questions about the role of collections in the twenty-first century.
Download or read book Drum Songs written by Kerry Margaret Abel and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2005 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dene nation consists of twelve thousand people speaking five distinct languages spread over 1.8 million square kilometres in the Canadian subarctic. In the 1970s and 1980s, the campaign against the Mackenzie Valley pipeline, support for the leadership of Georges Erasmus in the Assembly of First Nations, and land claim negotiations put the Dene on the leading edge of Canada's native rights movement. Drum Songs reconstructs important moments in Dene history, offering a sympathetic treatment of their past, the impact of the fur trade, their interaction with Christian missionaries, and evolving relations with the Canadian federal government. Using a wide range of sources, including archival documents, oral testimony, archaeological findings, linguistic studies, and folk traditions, Kerry Abel shows that previous ethnocentric interpretations of Canadian history have been excessively narrow. She demonstrates that the Dene were able to maintain a sense of cultural distinctiveness in the face of overwhelming economic, political, and cultural pressures from European newcomers. Abel's classic text questions the standard perception that aboriginal peoples in Canada have been passive victims in the colonization process. A new introduction discusses Dene experience since the first edition of the book and suggests how the approach of scholars in this field is changing.
Book Synopsis Museum Transformations by : Annie E. Coombes
Download or read book Museum Transformations written by Annie E. Coombes and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MUSEUM TRANSFORMATIONS DECOLONIZATION AND DEMOCRATIZATION Edited By ANNIE E. COOMBES AND RUTH B. PHILLIPS Museum Transformations: Decolonization and Democratization addresses contemporary approaches to decolonization, greater democratization, and revisionist narratives in museum exhibition and program development around the world. The text explores how museums of art, history, and ethnography responded to deconstructive critiques from activists and poststructuralist and postcolonial theorists, and provided models for change to other types of museums and heritage sites. The volume's first set of essays discuss the role of the museum in the narration of difficult histories, and how altering the social attitudes and political structures that enable oppression requires the recognition of past histories of political and racial oppression and colonization in museums. Subsequent essays consider the museum's new roles in social action and discuss experimental projects that work to change power dynamics within institutions and leverage digital technology and new media.

Book Synopsis Wolverine Myths and Visions by : Patrick Moore
Download or read book Wolverine Myths and Visions written by Patrick Moore and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The people who call themselves Den Dha¾, a group of the Athapaskan-speaking natives of northwestern Canada known as the Slave or Slavey Indians, now number about one thousand and occupy three reserves in northwestern Alberta. Because their settlements were until recently widely dispersed and isolated, they have maintained their language and traditions more successfully than most other Indian groups. This collection of their stories, recorded in the Dene language with literal interlinear English glosses and in a free English translation, represents a major contribution to the documentation of the Dene language, ethnography, and folklore. The stories center on two animal people, Wolf, who often helps people in Dene myth and whom traditional members of the tribe still so respect that they do not trap wolves for fur; and Wolverine, a trickster and cultural transformer much like Coyote in the Navajo tradition or Raven in Northwest Coast traditions. "Wolverine" is also the name of the leader of the messianic Tea Dance that took hold among the Dene people early in the twentieth century. His visions and the accounts of his life, which are included here along with the traditional tales, show how the old myths have been transfigured but continue to pervade the Dene world-view.
