    Oneworld Readers’ Guide The Orenda Joseph Boyden 1640s, The New World In the remote winter landscape a brutal massacre and the kidnapping of a young Iroquois girl violently re-ignites a deep rift between two tribes. The girl’s captor, Bird, is one of the Huron Nation’s great warriors and statesmen. Years have passed since the murder of his family, and yet they are never far from his mind. In the girl, Snow Falls, he recognizes the ghost of his lost daughter, but as he fights for her heart and allegiance, small battles erupt into bigger wars as both tribes face a new, more dangerous threat from afar. Travelling with the Huron is Christophe, a charismatic missionary who has found his calling among the tribe and devotes himself to learning and understanding their customs and language. An emissary from distant lands, he brings much more than his faith to this new world, with its natural beauty and riches. As these three souls dance with each other through intricately woven acts of duplicity, their social, political and spiritual worlds collide - and a new nation rises from a world in flux. About the Author Joseph Boyden’s first novel, Three Day Road, was selected for the Today Show Book Club, and it won the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize, the Amazon.ca/Books in Canada First Novel Award, as well as numerous others. His second novel, Through Black Spruce, was awarded the Scotiabank Giller Prize and named the Canadian Booksellers Association Book of the Year; it also earned him the CBA’s Author of the Year Award.

    Jean de Brébeuf “Brebeuf” redirects here. For other uses, see Brebeuf (disambiguation). Saint Jean de Brébeuf (March 25, 1593 – March 16, 1649) was a French Jesuit missionary who traveled to New France (or Canada) in 1625. There he worked pri- marily with the Huron for the rest of his life, except for a short time back in France in 1629-1633. He learned their language and culture. In 1649 Brébeuf and several other missionaries were cap- tured when an Iroquois raid took over a Huron village. Together with Huron captives, the missionaries were rit- ually tortured and eight were killed, martyred on March 16, 1649.

  • 72 Native American Warfare, Before European Contact, Is Char- Acterized
    CULTURAL ASPECTS OF WARFARE: THE IROQUOIS INSTITUSION OF THE MOURNING WAR CANDICE CAMPBELL This paper was written for Dr. Shirley’s Senior Seminar course. Native American warfare, before European contact, is char- acterized as primitive warfare due to their lack of territorial gain or economic advancement. The Iroquois, specifically, based their warfare on social continuity and spiritual growth. Death in Iroquois society is a direct correlation to the level of tribal spiritu- ality and strength. Sustainability of this strength is maintained through adoption and Mourning War. Mourning War (as these were called due to their emphasis on the deceased) assured the spiritual power of the clan would be preserved. The encounter of Europeans and the Iroquois drastically changed the Iroquois society and their methodology of warfare. Europeans brought disease and commerce, which in turn proved disastrous to these tribes. By the early sixteenth century, the definition of the Mourning War had changed. Warfare began as a cultural answer to death and diminishing power within the Iroquois soci- ety; however, after contact with Europeans, this tradition evolved into a detrimental cycle of destruction. Older histories attribute Iroquois warfare to various different rationales. Scholars of the nineteenth century tended to portray the warfare of the northeastern Native Americans as an innate cultural or racial predisposition. They were seen as possessing an “intractable spirit of independence, and pride which…rein- force…that savage lethargy of mind from which it is so hard to rouse him.”1 Tragically, this aided in the ideas of Indian sav- agery. Twentieth century historians tended to reject these earlier notions and began to concentrate on the economic factors of warfare.

  • Rewarding Civility in Canada's Battle of the Books
    REWARDING CIVILITY IN CANADA’S BATTLE OF THE BOOKS REWARDING CIVILITY IN CANADA’S BATTLE OF THE BOOKS: CANADA READS AND THE POLITE DISCOURSE OF ELIMINATION By JEREMY D. HAYNES, BAH, MA. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Jeremy Haynes, 2018 Descriptive Note McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2018) Hamilton, Ontario (English) TITLE: Rewarding Civility in Canada’s Battle of the Books: Canada Reads and the Polite Discourse of Elimination AUTHOR: Jeremy D. Haynes (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Daniel Coleman NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 194 ii Abstract This thesis looks at three seasons of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s (CBC) radio show Canada Reads – 2014, 2015, and 2016. I examine how each year’s debates over reconciliation (2014), inclusive multiculturalism (2015), and Canada’s role as a global refuge (2016) commonly presume a national mythology that Indigenous peoples have either disappeared or become “Canadian.” I argue that despite the show’s desire to build a better society through encouraging Canadians to read Canadian books, the debates featured on Canada Reads reflect the way assumed Canadian control of Indigenous lands is embedded in the language of Canadian literature and culture to both limit the political disruptiveness of Indigenous presence and reproduce ongoing colonial domination. Central to my argument is the sad truth that, even as the show invites diverse critiques of Canadian society, it nonetheless favours stereotypical narratives of Canadian multiculturalism, benevolence, and civility, and by doing so buttresses Canada’s unchanged status as a settler colonial state.
