A new, fully restored edition of the essential Canadian classic. An unflinchingly honest memoir of her experience as a Métis woman in Canada, Maria Campbell's Halfbreed depicts the realities that she endured and, above all, overcame. Maria was born in Northern Saskatchewan, her father the grandson of a Scottish businessman and Métis woman--a niece of Gabriel Dumont whose family fought alongside Riel and Dumont in the 1885 Rebellion; her mother the daughter of a Cree woman and French-American man. This extraordinary account, originally published in 1973, bravely explores the poverty, oppression, alcoholism, addiction, and tragedy Maria endured throughout her childhood and into her early adult life, underscored by living in the margins of a country pervaded by hatred, discrimination, and mistrust. Laced with spare moments of love and joy, this is a memoir of family ties and finding an identity in a heritage that is neither wholly Indigenous or Anglo; of strength and resilience; of indominatable spirit. This edition of Halfbreed includes a new introduction written by Indigenous (Métis) scholar Dr. Kim Anderson detailing the extraordinary work that Maria has been doing since its original publication 46 years ago, and an afterword by the author looking at what has changed, and also what has not, for Indigenous people in Canada today. Restored are the recently discovered missing pages from the original text of this groundbreaking and significant work.

An extraordinary man of the American West-a man who lived, fought, and made his mark in both the Indian and white worlds

Zoon, a being who has been raised and kept in isolation since birth by the obscure religious sect known as the UpperRoom, is finally unleashed. His mission: locate a mysterious woman--a beautiful virgin--in a strange city of over one million people and return her to the UpperRoom compound "unspoiled". Complicating matter is the fact that Zoon is no ordinary man. He's a one-year old, half human/half demon hybrid with the body and intellect of a 35 year old man, who has no knowledge of his past or what he truly is...

These elegaic and celebratory poems have been praised for their sense of pain mingled with the desire for wholeness, for the beauty of the author's accompanying drawings, and for the compassionate final section which brings together stories of oppression around the world.

Halfbreed is the true story of one man's struggle with his identity. Being half native and half non native presents a unique set of circumstances beginning at birth. The reader will travel through several decades detailing epic historical events such as Mount St Helen's, the Space Shuttle and 09/11/01. The reader will also experience Marine Corps Boot Camp and what it's like to be a in Law Enforcement as a Patrol Officer, Narcotics Undercover Agent, a Federal Special Agent and Chief of Police. Halfbreed will be released in three separate books and part three will detail how I dealt with the ultimate betrayal's both personnel and professional while battling the Federal Government in an epic 7 year court battle. Halfbreed will also in part three detail the covenant truth of the Historical Jesus and how the Native Americans in general are of the 10 scattered tribes of Ephraim using both circumstantial and direct evidence to support this theory. I am betting there are literally hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions of people of all races who call the United States of America home who have been told by their parents or grandparents at one time or other that they have connections to the Native Americans somewhere in their family tree. Halfbreed will inspire the reader to seek truth while outlining a basic simple non religious way to be in a daily relationship with our Creator Yod Hey Wav Hey (YHWH) Yahweh aka "God" as shown to us by the Historical Jesus.

In Cleve Lamison’s hard-hitting debut, two young men divided by an intense hatred—yet marked with a common destiny—have the power to save the world . . . or destroy it. It’s been two thousand years since the bastard spawn of the god Creador lost their war to enslave humankind, transforming the Thirteen Kingdoms into a violent world where the martial arts are exalted as sacred gifts from the gods—and honor is won through arena blood sport. Paladin Del Darkdragón, a sixteen-year-old warrior-in-training, is a “half-breed.” His battle against pure-blood bullies like Fox the Runt has forced him to master the four fighting forms. But when he blends them, he is condemned as a heretic by authorities and banished from the training temples. Seeking redemption, he enrolls in the arena games, savage trials that end in death. This year’s games mask an old plot driven by a new prophet. With a horde of Creador’s Bastards and an army of fanatics led by Fox the Runt at his command, the Prophet will bend the world to his will or burn it to ash. Paladin faces an impossible choice: redeem his honor in a fight he can’t hope to survive, or abandon his loved ones to perish in the sweeping holy war consuming the Kingdoms.

John takes you on a journey of deep compassion, sadness, hope and joy as he paints a vivid picture of the lasting impacts of historical and intergenerational trauma, healing and wisdom. Through his personal mantra of "Opportunity, Effort and Ability," we recognize his strong instinct and feel his desire to be a better human being, to be of service to others and to seek and manifest social justice. Every Native parent, schoolteacher, social worker, public health professional, tribal council member, urban Natives and anyone wishing to be trauma and healing informed should read John's story. John has been a mentor and hero of mine for decades and now even more after reading his powerful and heartfelt memoir. Crazy Wolf is a natural leader and his teachings will continue on through Crazy Wolf: A Half-Breed Story. Jillene Joseph (A'aniiih), founder and Executive Director, Native Wellness Institute

Named a Best Book of the Year by The New Yorker, CBC Books, and the Globe and Mail. From Giller Prize finalist Alexander MacLeod comes a magnificent collection about the needs, temptations, and tensions that exist just beneath the surface of our lives. Named a Canadian Fiction title to watch by the CBC, Quill & Quire, and 49th Shelf, and a "must-read book" by Maclean's. Featuring stories published in The New Yorker, Granta, and the O. Henry Prize Stories. Startling, suspenseful, deeply humane yet alert to the undertow of our darker instincts, the eight stories in Animal Person illuminate what it means to exist in the perilous space between desire and action, and to have your faith in what you hold true buckle and give way. A petty argument between two sisters is interrupted by an unexpected visitor. Adjoining motel rooms connect a family on the brink of a new life with a criminal whose legacy will haunt them for years to come. A connoisseur of other people’s secrets is undone by what he finds in a piece of lost luggage. In the wake of a tragic accident, a young man must contend with what is owed to the living and to the dead. And in the O. Henry Award-winning story “Lagomorph,” a man’s relationship with his family’s long-lived pet rabbit opens up to become a profound exploration of how a marriage fractures. Muscular and tender, beautifully crafted, and alive with an elemental power, these stories explore the struggle for meaning and connection in an age when many of us feel cut off from so much, not least ourselves. This is a collection that beats with raw emotion and shimmers with the complexity of our shared human experience, and it confirms Alexander MacLeod’s reputation as a modern master of the short story.
