Il y a longtemps, le grand Glooscap créa le peuple mi'kmaq dans le territoire actuel des provinces de l'Atlantique. Puis le Maître interrogea les animaux de la région, qui étaient alors gigantesques, afin de connaître leur intention envers les humains. Selon leur réponse, il réduisit la force des uns, diminua la taille des autres, en chassa d'autres au loin. Voulant échapper à ses questions, le castor construisit un énorme barrage pour se cacher, mais Glooscap détruisit le barrage et transforma ainsi le paysage du Nouveau-Brunswick.

Dammed: The Politics of Loss and Survival in Anishinaabe Territory explores Canada's hydroelectric boom in the Lake of the Woods area. It complicates narratives of increasing affluence in postwar Canada, revealing that the inverse was true for Indigenous communities along the Winnipeg River. Dammed makes clear that hydroelectric generating stations were designed to serve settler populations. Governments and developers excluded the Anishinabeg from planning and operations and failed to consider how power production might influence the health and economy of their communities.

Children go for a walk in the woods with their elders and discover the animals of British Columbia, their names in the Nłe7kepmxcín or Halq'emeylem languages, and the teachings they have for us.

In A Short History of the Blockade, award-winning writer Leanne Betasamosake Simpson uses Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg stories, storytelling aesthetics, and practices to explore the generative nature of Indigenous blockades through our relative, the beaver--or in Nishnaabemowin, Amik. Moving through genres, shifting through time, amikwag stories become a lens for the life-giving possibilities of dams and the world-building possibilities of blockades, deepening our understanding of Indigenous resistance, as both a negation and an affirmation.
