Mashkawi-Manidoo Bimaadiziwin Spirit to Soar


From the Curio.ca streaming audio-visual collection. In the wake of an inquest into the mysterious deaths of seven First Nations high school students in Thunder Bay, Ont., Tanya Talaga examines what - if anything - has changed since the youths died. The film shows that each of the students had a family and community that loved them. Each death was an opportunity lost. The film also illustrates how colonial oppression has caused deep systemic inequities to exist for First Nations people. The students came from communities without the basics: high schools, medical clinics staffed with doctors or nurses, and in some cases, clean running water. At its heart, Mashkawi-Manidoo Bimaadiziwin Spirit to Soar is about the strength and bravery First Nations youth have every day, when they walk out their door and head to high school in a country that has tried to erase them.

The house next door

Sutherland, Joel A., 1980-,


Series information from author's website. "Having grown up in the country with woods to explore and lakes to swim in, Matt isn't exactly thrilled when his parents move to a new subdivision of cookie-cutter houses an hour east of Toronto. But he's determined to make the most of the move. His little sister Sophie, on the other hand, is absolutely miserable ... until they discover that the house next door - an old stone farmhouse (whose owners have stubbornly refused to sell to developers) - has a horse. Though the animal never lets them get close enough for a good look, it's clear to the kids that it's on its last legs. Sophie doesn't care if the horse is past its prime. She always wanted a horse; perhaps whoever lives next door will let her ride it if she helps care for it. One night Matt spots Sophie on the other side of the fence between their house and the old farmhouse, trying to coax the horse into accepting an apple. He has a bad feeling about that house, and rushes out to stop her. Only then do they discover that the horse is in far worse shape than they thought. It's not ill - it's a ghost. And so is the family that finally emerges from the house to protect their beloved animal."--
