Languages and traditions are threatened with extinction. When this happens, unique knowledge, beliefs and histories are wiped out. First Peoples understand well the challenges and tensions that can erode a sense of self and belonging. Yet, they have shown remarkable resilience in both preserving ancient identities and forging new ones. Whether building on the rich textures of the past or fearlessly transforming contemporary fashion, First Nations, Inuit and Métis use clothing to communicate the strength and meaning of their lives. An exploration of First Peoples dress is a compelling and emotional experience – one that must follow interwoven threads of community and spirituality, resistance and accommodation, history and innovation.

  • The Current State of Braille on Packaging in Canada and Whether It Should Change
    Ryerson University Graphic Communications Management GCM 490 - 011: Thesis The Current State of Braille on Packaging in Canada and Whether it Should Change Prepared by: Betty Lim 500714268 7 December 2020 1 Abstract This paper aims to explore the current state of braille on packaging. It provides a brief history and overview on braille and braille on packaging that highlights key milestones. It offers facts and statistics on braille and visually impaired people. It also demonstrates the guidelines and how to properly execute braille on the packaging. The paper compares both sides of the topic to come to a final conclusion as to whether braille on packaging should be more commonplace in Canada. The advantages of implementing braille on packaging is that it is more inclusive, increases accessibility, convenience and independence for the visually impaired people. The disadvantages of implementing braille on packaging is that it is costly, it statistically benefits few, it is hard to implement and more importantly check. Other alternatives such as devices and emerging technologies are also examined as other means of providing the same solution that increased braille on packaging would. The paper evaluates the topic from three different perspectives: the everyday consumer, the manufacturer and the visually impaired to determine whether braille on packaging should be more commonplace in Canada. 2 Table of Contents Abstract ................................................................................................. 2 Introduction ..........................................................................................

MY BELOVED FRIEND AND COUNSELLOR HENRY J.

II. ILLINGWORTH AUTHOR 214648 PREFACE No up-to-date treatise on the important and interesting " " subject of The History of the Education of the Blind being in existence in this country, and the lack of such a text-book specially designed for the teachers in our blind schools being grievously felt, I have, in response to repeated requests, taken in hand the compilation of such a book from all sources at my command, adding at the same time sundry notes and comments of my own, which the experience of a quarter of a century in blind work has led me to think may be of service to those who desire to approach and carry on their work as teachers of the blind as well equipped with information specially suited to their requirements as circumstances will permit. It is but due to the juvenile blind in our schools that the men and women to whom their education is entrusted should not only be acquainted with the mechanical means of teaching through the tactile sense, but that they should also be so steeped in blind lore that it becomes second nature to them to think of and see things from the blind person's point of view.

All rights reserved. Published 1952. Second Edition 1963. First Phoenix Impression 1963. Printed in the United States of America oi.uchicago.edu PREFACE HE book contains twelve chapters, but it can be broken up structurally into five parts. First, the place of writing among the various systems of human inter­ communication is discussed. This is followed by four Tchapters devoted to the descriptive and comparative treatment of the various types of writing in the world. The sixth chapter deals with the evolution of writing from the earliest stages of picture writing to a full alphabet. The next four chapters deal with general problems, such as the future of writing and the relationship of writing to speech, art, and religion. Of the two final chapters, one contains the first attempt to establish a full terminology of writing, the other an extensive bibliography. The aim of this study is to lay a foundation for a new science of writing which might be called grammatology. While the general histories of writing treat individual writings mainly from a descriptive-historical point of view, the new science attempts to establish general principles governing the use and evolution of writing on a comparative-typological basis.
