Le Wild West Show de Gabriel Dumont / Gabriel Dumont's Wild West Show by Anonim Pdf

Au lendemain de la pendaison de Louis Riel en 1885, Gabriel Dumont, leader de la résistance métisse et chasseur de bisons, prend la fuite et se réfugie aux États-Unis. Il y est recruté par Buffalo Bill, figure mythique reconnue pour ses Wild West Shows, des spectacles itinérants qui représentent la vie du Far West. Toute sa vie, Dumont rêvera de raconter, dans un spectacle à grand déploiement, la lutte des Métis pour la reconnaissance de leurs droits. OEuvre dramatique joyeusement anachronique, Le Wild West Show de Gabriel Dumont - coécrit par dix auteurs et autrices autochtones et allochtones - donne vie au vieux rêve de Dumont en mettant en scène les événements qui ont mené à la résistance du Nord-Ouest. Publié en coédition avec Talonbooks (Vancouver), l'ouvrage contient deux versions, à dominante française et anglaise. Il comprend aussi des visuels, une introduction et un dossier permettant de contextualiser la pièce. -- In 1885, following the hanging of his friend Louis Riel, Métis Resistance leader and bison hunter Gabriel Dumont fled to the United States. There he was recruited by the legendary Buffalo Bill, founder of Buffalo Bill's Wild West, a gigantic outdoor travelling show that re-enacted life in the American West. Dumont dreamed of putting together a similar show to tell the story of the struggle of the Métis to reclaim their rights. The creative team behind Gabriel Dumont's Wild West Show - including ten authors, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, French- and English-speaking men and women - brings Dumont's dream to life in a captivating, joyously anachronistic saga with a rodeo vibe. Co-published with Prise de parole (Sudbury), the work consists of two versions, one predominantly in English and the other predominantly in French.

Song of Batoche by Maia Caron Pdf

Fiction. Native American Studies. Louis Riel arrives at Batoche in 1884 to help the Metis fight for their lands and discovers that the rebellious outsider Josette Lavoie is a granddaughter of the famous chief Big Bear, whom he needs as an ally. But Josette learns of Riel's hidden agenda -- to establish a separate state with his new church at its head -- and refuses to help him. Only when the great Gabriel Dumont promises her that he will not let Riel fail does she agree to join the cause. In this raw wilderness on the brink of change, the lives of seven unforgettable characters converge, each one with secrets: Louis Riel and his tortured wife Marguerite; a duplicitous Catholic priest; Gabriel Dumont and his dying wife Madeleine; a Hudson's Bay Company spy; and the enigmatic Josette Lavoie. As the Dominion Army marches on Batoche, Josette and Gabriel must manage Riel's escalating religious fanaticism and a growing attraction to each other. SONG OF BATOCHE is a timeless story that traces the borderlines of faith and reason, obsession and madness, betrayal and love.

Extraordinary Canadians: Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont by Joseph Boyden Pdf

Louis Riel is regarded by some as a hero and visionary, by others as a madman and misguided religious zealot. The Métis leader who fought for the rights of his people against an encroaching tide of white settlers helped establish the province of Manitoba before escaping to the United States. Gabriel Dumont was a successful hunter and Métis chief, a man tested by warfare, a pragmatist who differed from the devout Riel. Giller Prize—winning novelist Joseph Boyden argues that Dumont, part of a delegation that had sought out Riel in exile, may not have foreseen the impact on the Métis cause of bringing Riel home. While making rational demands of Sir John A. Macdonald's government, Riel seemed increasingly overtaken by a messianic mission. His execution in 1885 by the Canadian government still reverberates today. Boyden provides fresh, controversial insight into these two seminal Canadian figures and how they shaped the country.

Gabriel Dumont in Paris by Jordan Zinovich Pdf

Blending fact and fiction, prose and poetry, Jordan Zinovich reconstructs one of history's most charismatic, yet enigmatic, figures. Gabriel Dumont in Paris retells the events leading up to the Northwest Rebellion through the eyes of Dumont and those who surround him. Many voices clash and mingle in this story, guided always by Dumont's own rememberings. My breath explodes, consuming naked trees. Above the coughing rifles Riel is bellowing: Fight on my brave M?tis. You are the chosen ones in this New World. ... When I part the brush Riel cries: Uncle Gabriel! We are beaten. What now? "But Louis, you must always have known that we would be beaten. We are defeated, so now we perish. Now they destroy us. Now you teach me the lessons I must take from this."

Wolves on the Road by Ulrich Wendt Pdf

The phone rings and it is our neighbour to the east of us. There are wolves on the road again, heading our way. When we hurry to look, there they are–three wolves, bigger than you’d expect, trotting confidently on the packed snow in the middle. A fourth is in the ditch, the black one this time, and I know there must be a fifth circling through the roadside brush. They are hunting deer and the road is their tactical tool. Whatever we make of it is no concern of theirs.

Cold Case North by Michael Nest,Reder, Deanna,Eric Bell Pdf

Missing persons. Double murder? Métis leader James Brady was one of the most famous Indigenous activists in Canada. A communist, strategist, and bibliophile, he led Métis and First Nations to rebel against government and church oppression. Brady's success made politicians and clergy fear him; he had enemies everywhere. In 1967, while prospecting in Saskatchewan with Cree Band Councillor and fellow activist, Absolom Halkett, both men vanished from their remote lakeside camp. For 50 years rumours swirled of secret mining interests, political intrigue, and murder. Cold Case North is the story of how a small team, with the help of the Indigenous community, exposed police failure in the original investigation, discovered new clues and testimony, and gathered the pieces of the North's most enduring missing persons puzzle. "Like too many cases involving missing and murdered Indigenous people, authorities failed to ensure that Brady and Halkett's deaths were properly investigated. This book helps get to the bottom of the fate of these two men, and demonstrates why investigators should never dismiss the knowledge of Indigenous peoples." --Darren Prefontaine, author of Gabriel Dumont

The Riel Problem by Albert Braz Pdf

Tracing Louis Riel’s metamorphosis from traitor to hero, Braz argues that, through his writing, Riel resists his portrayal as both a Canadian patriot and a pan-Indigenous leader. After being hanged for high treason in 1885, the Métis politician, poet, and mystic has emerged as a quintessential Canadian champion. The Riel Problem maps this representational shift by examining a series of cultural and scholarly commemorations of Riel since 1967, from a large-scale opera about his life, through the publication of his extant writings, to statues erected in his honour. Braz also probes how aspects of Riel’s life and writing can be problematic for many contemporary Métis artists, scholars, and civic leaders. Analyzing representations of Riel in light of his own writings, the author exposes both the constructedness of the Canadian nation-state and the magnitude of the current historical revisionism when dealing with Riel.
