Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Nlha7k�pmx people are among the original inhabitants of the Fraser, Thompson, and Nicola river valleys in southwestern British Columbia. In this collection of traditional oral narratives and legends, which have been passed from generation to generation for centuries, the elders tell the story of their people. Many of the stories were told in the original Nlha7k�pmx language but have been carefully translated so as to retain much of the colour and detail of the original, including the rich dialogue so often missing in translations. Altogether, over twenty story-tellers participated in the project. Put together entirely by Nlha7k�pmx people, Our Tellings reveals how they perceive their own history. It is their hope that through sharing these stories, they will inspire others to continue to create stories and to contribute to the cultural revitalization of Canada's Native peoples. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Mission Failure argues that, in the past 25 years, the U.S. military has turned to missions that are largely humanitarian and socio-political - and that this ideologically-driven foreign policy generally leads to failure. |
