Abstract

"Five hundred years of colonization have taken an incalculable toll on the Indigenous peoples of the Americas: substance use disorders and shockingly high rates of depression, diabetes, and other chronic health conditions brought on by genocide and colonial control. With passionate logic and chillingly clear prose, author and educator Suzanne Methot uses history, human development, and her own and others? stories to trace the roots of Indigenous cultural dislocation and community breakdown in an original and provocative examination of the long-term effects of colonization. But all is not lost. Methot also shows how we can come back from this with Indigenous ways of knowing lighting the way."--Jacket.

Abstract

"On March 14, 1889, Susan La Flesche Picotte received her medical degree, becoming the first Native American doctor in U.S. history--thirty-one years before women could vote and thirty-five years before Indians could become citizens in their own country. By age twenty-six, this fragile but indomitable Native woman acquired 1,244 patients scattered across 1,350 square miles of rolling countryside with few roads. They were often desperately poor and sick with tuberculosis, small pox, measles, and influenza. She was their last hope and effectively became the chief of her entrenched patriarchal tribe, crashing through walls of ethnic, racial, and gender prejudice. A Warrior of the People is the moving biography of Susan La Flesche Picotte's inspirational life and dedication to public health, and it will finally shine a light on her numerous accomplishments that improved the lot of her people."--Back Cover

Abstract

Rediscovering the stories of the past serves as a healing force in the decolonization and recovery of Aboriginal communities. Anderson shares the teachings of elders from the Canadian prairies and Ontario to illustrate how different life stages were experienced by Métis, Cree, and Anishinaabe girls and women during the mid-twentieth century. Anderson explains how this traditional knowledge can be applied toward rebuilding healthy Indigenous communities today.
