    "A celebration of the Innu land in the tradition of Joséphine Bacon. This telluric power is reminiscent of Paul Chamberland's Terre Québec. Natasha Kanapés challenge is to name her land, but also to reconcile opposites. In this collection of poetry, the author engages with the environment, colonialism, anxiety, anger, healing, solitude, and love. "Assi" in Innu means Land. ASSI MANIFESTO is primarily a land of women. If the manifesto is a public space, Assi is a forum of life, a song for those who open their spirit to its mystery."--Cover

    "Pishimuss, une aînée, revient sur sa vie au sein de sa communauté. Elle raconte les amitiés, les amours, la chasse au caribou, le fleuve et la forêt. L'or des mélèzes est une série de tableaux, de moments de vie, d'instantanés. Sophie, la meilleure amie. Mathias, le fils qui meurt sans jamais mourir. Adeline, l'adolescente révoltée. Et puis, il y a Xavier, l'amour de sa vie. Xavier, dont l'histoire est portée sur le dos d'une rivière. Roman familial à l'écriture épurée, L'or des mélèzes capte des scènes des vies à la fois lumineuses et poignantes, sans pathos ni ressentiment." -- "Pishimuss, an elder, reflects on her life in her community. She tells of friendships, loves, caribou hunting, the river and the forest. The gold of the larches is a series of paintings, moments of life, snapshots. Sophie, a best friend. Mathias, the son who dies without ever dying. Adeline, the rebellious teenager. And then there is Xavier, the love of his life. Xavier, whose story is carried on the back of a river. A family novel with refined writing, L’or des mélèzes captures scenes of lives that are both luminous and poignant, without pathos or resentment." --

    "The Bungling Host motif appears in countless indigenous cultures in North America and beyond. In this groundbreaking work Daniel Clément has gathered more than four hundred North American variants of the story to examine how myths acquire meaning for their indigenous users and explores how seemingly absurd narratives can prove to be a rich source of meaning when understood within the appropriate context. In analyzing the Bungling Host tales, Clément considers not only material culture but also social, economic, and cultural life; Native knowledge of the environment; and the world of plants and animals.

    Clément's analysis uncovers four operational modes in myth construction and clarifies the relationship between mythology and science. Ultimately he demonstrates how science may have developed out of an operational mode that already existed in the mythological mind.
    "... "Daniel Clément examines the "Bungling Host" tale known in a multitude of indigenous cultures in North America and beyond. In this groundbreaking work he reveals fuller meaning to these stories than previously recognized and underscores the limits of structuralism in understanding them"...
