Mixed blood Ojibwe writer Drew Hayden Taylor touches the heart with this two act play which relates the pain and grief resulting from government programs in which Indian children were virtually stolen from their parents to be adopted by non-natives.

The plot revolves around the newly found relationship of long-separated sisters who have been reunited; one from the reservation and the other an urban raised attorney. A short play of pathos and humor, the characters are very alive and will remain in the reader's memory

This reader found herself hoping to have an opportunity to see the play performed someday.

Operation Friction gives one of only two histories of Canada's contribution to the Gulf War that I have seen (the other being The Persian Excursion). Gimblett's book is obviously the work of a professional historian, lacking the flash of the journalist, but solid, reliable and easily read. Although Gimblett does recount the story of the two fighter squadrons based in Bahrain and Qatar during the conflict, and the ground troops on garrison duty, it becomes fairly clear that Canada's major contribution to the Gulf war was in the Gulf itself -- the three ships (One destroyer, one frigate and one supply vessel)that hurriedly sailed from port after Canada threw its hat in the game. Canada's contribution mirrored its efforts in the Second World War -- an escort navy. In the lower and Central Gulf, the destroyer Athabasca and the very old frigate Terra Nova sheparded Coalition supply vessels safely to Saudi harbours, while stopping and boarding dozens of suspect ships heading to Iraqi harbour terminals. The Protecteur, the supply ship, was kept at sea for great lengths as she was always in need by the other Coalition ships. Eventually Canadian ships took over the leadership of convoy duties in the central Gulf, while Athabasca braved the minefields that had badly damaged the USS Princeton to escort the American missile cruiser south to safety. Canada only played a limited offensive role in the war (using it's CF-18 fighter-bombers in the last couple of days), but its forces were there throughout Desert Storm and Desert Shield. She played a valuable, if not spectacular role in the Kuwait crisis and Gimblett has done a very creditable job.

I am the son of the author. "The Other Canadians" is a compilation of articles that appeared in the Ukrainian Voice weekly from Winnipeg. Since 1981, Ukraine has become independent and the non British non French ethnic makeup of Canada has changed somewhat. So the book is somewhat dated. However, there are still fascinating historical capsules that appear and deserve to be better known. For example, there are articles on the Ukrainian origin of Canada's Red Fife and Durham wheats, on General Orlyk facing General Wolfe on the Plains of Abraham (a hypothetical story that almost took place), on artist William Kurelek, on Winnipeg mayor Stephen Juba. The book is well written and I recommend it highly.

This series offers a very readable translation of the original French Canadian-language series, adding drawings, historical briefs and appendices that are especially of interest to American-born descendents of Quebec's pioneer families. For history buffs, this series also offers insights into the motivations of New France's immigrants and portrays highlights of daily life, social activities and civil actions among the colonists. Some of the profiles were prepared by family historians, who often wrote longer works on the same subject. My ancestor, Jean Le Brodeur, is featured in Chapter 13 by Clement Brodeur of Quebec. The information is valuable on its own merits and as a starting point for further research. Most French Canadian descendents are related to many of the persons portrayed in this series, due to the close-knit society and intermarriages among relatively few families. So several volumes may be of interest. This series extends general and specific knowledge of the Quebecois pioneers. - Gary Brodeu

This is an excellent collection of audition pieces from Canadian Scripts. Typically Canadian humour and some utilizing Canadian accents. This is a choice for actors who would prefer a "different" monologue for an audition.

This book saved my term paper!! Finding material on 19th century Canadian author Catharine Parr Traill is very difficult,and this book is the only one I found that truly helped me for my essay.Of course, this book features other authors, such as Traill's sister, Susanna Moodie.But for anyone looking for a book that talks at length about Traill's work (fiction and non-fiction), this is THE ONE!!!

It is obvious that Paul Deloughery set out to assemble a book of highland bagpipe tunes catering to the beginner when looking at this collection. Many of the traditional embellishments have been made easier without diminishing the melody of any tune. The notation of all tunes has been done in an easy to read format unlike other "new" books of tunes.

This book contains seventeen poems and nineteen articles. The articles are feminist, anti-racist, and exhibit a level of reflection uncommon for an anthology. There is very little "weak" material. The very best pieces are those which relate discussions between the authors, such as ""Purifying" the (Identi)Ghee: South Asian Feminist Gup-shup," "Towards a Feminist Bisexual Politic: A Discussion," and "A Conversation About The Arab Lesbian and Bisexual Network." Much of the focus within the articles is on the relations between bisexual women and the lesbian community. It is informative to see the way the authors connect their experience of being marginalized for their sexuality with similar experiences around gender, race, and class. Since this is published by Sister Vision Press most of the contributors are women of colour. This presents a wide range of bisexual women's experience, not only that of white academics. As an indication of the issues which are particularly important to bisexual identity within Canada this book is indispensible. On the negative side, the resources listed in the back are out of date, partly because the bisexual community in Canada is developing and changing rapidly.
