“We Are Coming Home!” is the story of thehighly complex process of repatriation as described by those intimatelyinvolved in the work, notably the Piikuni, Siksika, and Kainai elderswho provided essential oversight and guidance. We also hear from theGlenbow Museum’s president and CEO at the time and from anarchaeologist then employed at the Provincial Museum of Alberta whoprovides an insider’s view of the drafting of FNSCORA. Theseaccounts are framed by Conaty’s reflections on the impact ofmuseums on First Nations, on the history and culture of the Niitsitapi,or Blackfoot, and on the path forward. With Conaty’s passing inAugust of 2013, this book is also a tribute to his enduringrelationships with the Blackfoot, to his rich and exemplary career, andto his commitment to innovation and mindful museum practice.

Описание: During the last decades of the nineteenth century in the Old West, cowboys and Indians, lawmen and outlaws, ranchers and farmers shared the border between Canada and the United States--and mostly ignored it. American traders and cowboys with their cattle came north to the territory that later became Alberta, and the Blackfoot traveled south to Montana to visit their kinfolk there. Bull trains regularly carried supplies from Fort Benton, on the Missouri River, across the border to Fort Macleod, a small ramshackle town in the foothills of the Rockies. The Banker and the Blackfoot conjures up vividly the never-before-told story of Fort Macleod, the surrounding Blackfoot territory, and the foothills during roughly two decades, 1885 to 1905, when the people living there--First Nations and M tis, rancher and farmer--respectfully set out to accommodate Blackfoot sovereignty and new settlement--before the Canadian government broke its Treaty promises to the Indians. There were many friendships in this time and place, both among town residents and foothills settlers and the police, and between many of them and the Blackfoot. It was here that the self-made banker John Cowdry--J. Edward Chamberlin's grandfather--met Crop Eared Wolf, the legendary Blackfoot warrior and brilliant horseman, and their friendship and trust formed a lasting bond. Cowdry later became the town's first mayor, and Crop Eared Wolf succeeded his father, the great statesman Red Crow, as head chief of the Blood tribe. Fort Macleod embraced it all--Sun Dances and social dances, bibles and medicine bundles, drums and piano recitals, horse races and polo matches, and rodeos to celebrate both the horse culture of the Blackfoot and the skills of the cattle range. The town was full of great characters, including Madame Kanouse (Natawista), admired for both her influential intelligence and her stunning fashion sense; Kamoose Taylor, hospitable patron of the Macleod Hotel--where Francis Dickens, son of the great novelist Charles Dickens, and the Sundance Kid himself were found at the bar; Colonel James Macleod, commander of the North-West Mounted Police; the taciturn Jerry Potts, unequaled M tis guide and interpreter; John Ware, a successful black cowboy and rancher; and the renowned Peigan chief Big Swan. Full of wisdom, passion, and insight, The Banker and the Blackfoot compellingly portrays a time when many people in that part of the Old West looked for ways of getting along with each other and getting on with the things that mattered to them all. Their remarkable story offers hope for all of us today.

Описание: This is a far cry from your father's stuffy, effete how-to book on fly fishing. It assumes you're not a wealthy snob who understands Latin, but it does expect you to have a sense of humor and the willingness to give this wonderful pastime a try. And if you are a Latin-speaking snob, I hope you read it anyway - it's never too late to be cured of that unpleasant affliction. Written for beginners interested in one of life's greatest pastimes, Basic Fly Fishing for the Reasonably Competent is a simple, step-by-step guide that provides everything you need to know to master the basics-with no unnecessary information, no complicated diagrams and none of the high-brow Latin terminology found in most fly fishing books. You won't need a degree in fish and bug science to master the art of fly fishing-you just need to be curious (and reasonably competent). Basic Fly Fishing for the Reasonably Competent delivers common sense instruction on the why, how, when and where of fly fishing. Combining the author's 50+ years of fly fishing, a crisp writing style and a sense of humor, this book is all the novice needs to quickly be throwing artful casts using the right flies with a reasonable chance of catching a fish.
