  • Pathways to the Eighth Fire: Indigenous Knowledge and Storytelling in Toronto
    Pathways to the Eighth Fire: Indigenous Knowledge and Storytelling in Toronto Jon Johnson A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Communication and Culture York University Toronto, Ontario July 2015 © Jon Johnson, 2015 Abstract A considerable body of scholarly research now accords with long-held Indigenous prophecy in affirming the ongoing importance of Indigenous knowledge for the health and wellness of contemporary Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples and their environments. Yet, while much research has examined Indigenous knowledge and traditions in more natural or rural contexts, there has been to date very little examination of the presence and character of Indigenous knowledge and traditions in more urban contexts. This dissertation redresses this gap in the research via an analysis of Indigenous knowledge, traditions, and storytelling in Toronto and their prophetic implications for contemporary Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. The analysis is based on a comparative literature review of Indigenous knowledge, traditions, and community as they have been practiced in urban and non-urban locales, long-term participation within Toronto’s Indigenous community particularly as a tour guide for the highly-regarded community-based Great ‘Indian’ Bus Tour of Toronto, and in-depth semi-structured interviews with a small group of Anishinaabe Torontonians regarding their perceptions of the city and the practice of urban Indigenous knowledge and traditions. These lines of investigation revealed that land-based urban Indigenous knowledge and storytelling traditions are practiced in at least some cities like Toronto in ways that exhibit significant similarities and continuities with those practiced in non- urban locales.

  • Saturday, September 23, 2017 Letter from the Presenting Sponsor
    present the Environmental Media Awards Celebrating OUTSTANDING achievement within the ENTERTAINMENT and ENVIRONMENTAL communities #EMAAWARDS Saturday, September 23, 2017 Letter from the presenting sponsor Good evening ladies and gentleman, On behalf of Toyota and Lexus, welcome to the 27th annual Environmental Media Awards! Tonight we are honored to serve as presenting sponsors and celebrate the 17th anniversary of our partnership with the Environmental Media Association. Over the past 17 years, we’ve helped honor the thought leaders that inspire millions to lead more environmentally conscious lives. Tonight we continue to celebrate the efforts of the entertainment industry and celebrities that shape our culture. After all these years, we are still inspired by EMA’s efforts to promote environmental awareness using the powerful medium of entertainment. Tonight we’ve brought an inspiring vehicle line up to the party. The 2017 Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicle returns to the green carpet. As one of the world’s first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, the Toyota Mirai is a four-door, mid- size sedan with performance that fully competes with traditional internal combustion engines – but uses no gasoline. Instead, Mirai creates electricity on demand using hydrogen, oxygen and a fuel cell, and emits nothing but water vapor in the process. Lexus is excited to showcase its all-new hybrid luxury sedan, the LS 500h. With smooth power and an estimated 33 miles per gallon on the highway, it has a range of more than 600 miles of luxurious driving. On sale in February 2018 with a starting price around $80,000, the LS 500h will be the luxury sedan of choice for environmentally minded drivers.

Processed: October 1997 by Shanon Wilson. for reference assistance email Special Collections or contact: Special Collections, University of Delaware Library Newark, Delaware 19717-5267 (302) 831-2229 Table of Contents Biographical Note Scope and Contents Note Contents List Biographical Note James Leo Herlihy's stories about the underside of American culture, told through the experiences of those outside of the mainstream, have garnered their author comparisons with Sherwood Anderson. Herlihy was born in Detroit, Michigan, on February 27, 1927. After leaving high school, he enlisted in the Navy in 1945, receiving his overseas orders just two days before the end of World War II. From 1947- 48, with money from the G.I. Bill, Herlihy attended Black Mountain College in North Carolina, a small, experimental institution whose faculty included Merce Cunningham, John Cage, William De Kooning, and other innovative figures in the arts. There, Herlihy studied art, music, and literature. Herlihy formed strong relationships in the Black Mountain community, and his friendships with such figures as Anais Nin and the poet/potter M. C. (Mary Caroline) Richards would provide inspiration and support in his future creative endeavors. After an aptitude test indicated that his abilities might lie in the theatre, Herlihy moved to California and attended the Pasadena Playhouse College from 1948-1950. Over the next four years, Herlihy performed in about fifty plays in theaters along the West Coast.

The film spans 18 years and traces important cultural moments through her eyes, starting in 1999 and concluding in 2017. SYNOPSIS In 1999, teenage Celeste (Raffey Cassidy) survives a violent tragedy. After singing at a memorial service, Celeste transforms into a burgeoning pop star with the help of her songwriter sister (Stacy Martin) and a talent manager (Jude Law). Celeste's meteoric rise to fame and concurrent loss of innocence dovetails with a shattering terrorist attack on the nation, elevating the young powerhouse to a new kind of celebrity: American icon, secular deity, global superstar. By 2017, adult Celeste (Natalie Portman) is mounting a comeback after a scandalous incident that derailed her career. Touring in support of her siXth album, a compendium of sci-fi anthems entitled “VoX LuX,” the indomitable, foul-mouthed pop savior must overcome her personal and familial struggles to navigate motherhood, madness and monolithic fame in the Age of Terror. In Brady Corbet's second feature, following his 2015 breakout debut The Childhood of a Leader— winner of the Best Director and Best Debut Film prizes at the Venice Film Festival — Celeste becomes a symbol of the cult of celebrity and the media machine in all its guts, grit and glory.

In today’s world this ancient oral tradition is more meaningful than ever, building bridges between young and old, between regions and cultures around the world. Produced in English and Cree, Stories from the Seventh Fire was inspired by a prophecy from an Ojibway elder who foretold of a time when we would seek out these stories and old teachings to reconnect with Mother Earth. Four half-hour episodes of Stories from the Seventh Fire present the seasons, Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter combining 2-D, Flash and 3-D animation, live action nature footage and the voices of some of Canada’s best-loved Native performers. Each episode explores a season with two stories. In the first half of the show the Storyteller (Gordon Tootoosis) tells ancient stories about the Cree trickster, Wesakechak (Johnny Waniandy), using the animated characters set in motion by Vancouver’s Bardel Animation (Stickin' Around, Prince of Egypt). The animated characters, creatures and landscapes are based on designs created by shaman and renowned Aboriginal artist, Norval Morrisseau. His unique style is famous for its bold, vivid colours and spiritually inspired designs. In the second half of the program a 3-D digital Mother Wolf (Tantoo Cardinal) and her cubs are brought to life by computer-animators Bioware (Baldur's Gate, Winter) and AurenyA Entertainment (Elfkin's First Christmas, Spring, Summer and Fall).

This book honors the Seventh Generation. It draws on the words of 120 Native youth, interviewed in the United States and Canada, to share what can be learned from their stories of success, failure, growth, and resilience. Chapters focus on themes that emerged in these stories: glimpses into the lives of Native youth, factors that influence how youth develop a Native identity, things that make life and school difficult, ways that students handle difficulty, different intellectual gifts and how they may be used to help one's people, finding the help and motivation to succeed in school, and how students found the "good path" and where it has taken them.
