From ant to eagle

Lyttle, Alex.


My name is Calvin Sinclair, I'm eleven years old and I have a confession ... I killed my brother. It's the summer before grade 6 and Calvin Sinclair is bored to tears. He's recently moved from a big city to a small town and there's nothing to do. It's hot, he has no friends and the only kid around is his six-year-old brother Sammy who can barely throw a basketball as high as the hoop. So Cal occupies his time by getting his brother to do almost anything: from chasing wasps to tromping through rose bushes. And Sammy is all too eager -- as long as it means getting a "Level" and moving one step closer to his brother's Eagle status. But when Cal meets Aleta Alvarado, a new girl who shares his love for Goosebumps books and adventure, Sammy is pushed aside. Cal feels guilty but not guilty enough to change. At least not until things at home start falling apart and he's left wondering whether Sammy will ever complete his own journey...

Inuit relocations : colonial policies and practices, Inuit resilience and resistance

Tester, Frank J.


This book offers a ground-breaking account of how the Canadian government removed Inuit from places where they had lived for generations and dropped them off in places they had never seen. Many children were forced into residential schools. Others were required to go south to hospitals for treatment for the infectious disease of tuberculosis. This book casts light on the colonialism and racism that remain embedded in Canadian society and in the actions and policies of the Canadian government. It also documents the often successful resistance of Inuit to assimilation and subjugation of cultural identity.

The Komagata Maru and Canada's anti-Indian immigration policies in the twentieth century

Hickman, Pamela M.


In 1914, Canada was a very British society with anti-Asian attitudes. Although Great Britain had declared that all people from India were officially British citizens and could live anywhere in the British Commonwealth, Canada refused to accept them. This racist policy was challenged by Gurdit Singh, a Sikh businessman, who chartered a ship, the Komagata Maru, and sailed to Vancouver with over 300 Indians wishing to immigrate to Canada. They were turned back, tragically. Over the years, the Canadian government gradually changed its immigration policies, first allowing entry to wives and children of Indian immigrants and later to many more immigrants from India. The Indo-Canadian community has grown throughout Canada, especially in British Columbia.

The Sixties Scoop and the stolen lives of Indigenous children

Bomberry, Andrew,


"An examination of the Sixties Scoop – a child welfare policy in Canada that saw the removal of Indigenous children from their families, often by force. Starting in 1951, Indigenous children in Canada were taken by social welfare agencies from their families and placed in the care of non-Indigenous families. These children grew up without their birth families, cultural roots, and language. Many tried to run away and some died in the attempt. The taking of the children is known as the Sixties Scoop, though the policies and practices started before the 1960s and lasted long after. Today, Indigenous children are shockingly over-represented in the child welfare system across Canada."
