Lexical Roots of Old Cree
Regular price $59.95 Save $-59.95Lexical Roots of Old Cree: An Etymological Dictionary is a dictionary of derivational morphemes of Old Cree, the postulated ancestor of Cree, Innu, Naskapi, and Atikamekw dialects. It results from over two decades of research on historical and contemporary Cree dialects. Built from extensive linguistic fieldwork with nearly a hundred fluent speakers and supported by lexical databases and textual corpora, it offers a detailed reconstruction of Old Cree lexical roots with evidence from various dialects.
Lexical roots—the smallest meaningful units of words—are central to Cree’s polysynthetic structure. By reconstructing these roots, this dictionary provides critical insights into how words were formed in Old Cree and remain structured in modern dialects.
Beyond linguistic reconstruction, this work addresses practical challenges in Cree lexicography, particularly orthographic variations and dialectal differences. It serves as a valuable resource for lexicographers, linguists, and community members engaged in language preservation and revitalization. Amid rapid linguistic erosion, this dictionary documents Cree's rich lexical heritage and supports ongoing efforts to sustain and strengthen the language for future generations. It stands as a testament to the knowledge generously shared by fluent speakers and the enduring vitality of Cree linguistic traditions.
Dawaa
Regular price $19.95 Save $-19.95Dawaa: The Space Between celebrates in poetry the tensions and beauty between the two ancestral languages of the author: Ojibwe and English.
As a First Nations woman, Tareyn Johnson grew up without knowing the language of her ancestors. Her grandparents attended residential school, and neither they, nor her mother carried the language. Left with a deep longing desire to embrace Anishnaabemowin (Ojibwe) language, she began her learning journey as an adult.
As her understanding grew, words began to form visually in her mind. As a result, twenty-six poems—two for each of the Thirteen Moons—grouped seasonally, beautifully juxtapose Ojibwe and English to express Johnson’s feeling of existing between two languages.
This collection of poems—not intended as a didactic or language teaching tool—examines the unique experience of walking between two worlds, speaking and learning two languages, and relating the two ways of knowing in a liminal space… the space between.
nanda-gikendan—seek to know it, seek to learn it.
One Boy!
Regular price $54.95 Save $-54.95One Boy! is an emotionally charged—at times even humorous—coming-of-age narrative. In this debut work of creative non-fiction, Benjamin Maiangwa draws readers into the intimate interior of a boy navigating the delicate space between youthful innocence and the harsh realities of a Catholic boarding school.
The story traces a young man's journey through the tangled terrain of love, loss, and self-discovery. Set against the backdrop of cultural expectations and religious doctrine, the protagonist endures betrayal, bullying, and the fragile beauty of friendship. As he matures within the strict confines of the boarding school and the religious hostilities of the outside world, he arrives at a moral crossroads: should he uphold the Judeo-Christian values of forgiveness instilled in him—or yield to the seductive pull of revenge?
One Boy! is more than a story of survival; it is a meditation on what it means to remain whole in a world that so often insists you break. In the end, the question isn’t just what the boy will choose—but what we would choose in his place.

Becoming an Antiracist Educator
Regular price $71.95 Save $-71.95Becoming an Antiracist Educator honours the enduring influence of Timothy J. Stanley, a visionary historian whose work has reshaped how racism, racialization, and historical consciousness are understood in Canada. This timely collection gathers scholars, teachers, and community advocates who reflect on how Stanley’s scholarship and mentorship have challenged and guided their own commitments to antiracist education.
Spanning generations and disciplinary backgrounds, the contributors offer deeply personal and politically grounded reflections that connect Stanley’s insights to the pressing realities of our time. They engage questions raised by the toppling of colonial statues, the resurgence of anti-Asian racism, and the uncovering of unmarked graves at residential school sites. Together, they show that antiracist teaching is not only about critiquing systems, but about reimagining how we understand the past, how we tell our histories, and how we live with one another in the present.
Concluding with a moving epilogue by Stanley, this collection speaks to educators, researchers, and community members seeking to confront racism in schools, museums, universities, and public life. It offers both a testament to his legacy and an invitation to carry that work forward with courage and care. Becoming an Antiracist Educator is an essential resource for educators, scholars, and community members committed to interrupting racism in schools, museums, universities, and beyond.
