Locating the Dawn Settlement in the Historical Landscape -- Beyond the Underground Railroad: Migrations to the Dawn Settlement in the Fur Trading Era -- The Shared Dream of Education: The Founding of the British American Institute -- The Seeds of Discord: Exploring the Political Landscape of Dawn -- The British American Institute: The Early Days of Success and Growth -- Henson's Rising Star: Beyond the Fictional Uncle Tom -- The Rev.

"Illuminating two hundred years of lost Black history through the lens of an iconic abolitionist settlement. In the Light of Dawn shares the compelling story of how the iconic Dawn Settlement -- now largely within the boundaries of Dresden, Ontario -- shaped (and was shaped by) a broader course of international events along a 200-year continuum of resistance and contribution. Using a geographic approach, the book reveals that the town's size, scope, and importance eclipses its previous narrow interpretations as a "failed" utopian colony at a terminus of the Underground Railroad led by the Reverend Josiah Henson (the "real Uncle Tom" of Harriet Beecher Stowe's landmark anti-slavery novel). Beyond Henson, Dawn's history contains familiar figures like Frederick Douglass and Rosa Parks as well as a pantheon of lesser known but equally important Black leaders including Dennis Hill, William Whipper, William Carter, and Hugh Burnett. The trajectories of Dawn's residents often intersect with pivotal international events from the time of the fur trade to the modern Civil Rights movement. Activism from 19th-century Pennsylvania's Black Elite and other major American centres run like a golden thread through successive generations in Dawn, resulting in landmark actions such as the challenge to segregation of private businesses and publicly funded schools. Dawn's people not only resisted slavery and oppression but also made successful and lasting contributions to the growth of local communities and wider society. Far from being a failed colony, the Dawn Settlement emerges as a vibrant community of racial and economic diversity, where people of agency and ability influenced wider societal change. In the Light of Dawn presents an expansive yet nuanced account of a small rural town that challenges traditional notions of Black History and the contributions of early Black pioneers, leaving behind an enduring legacy. Marie Carter is a lifelong resident of Dresden, Ontario, where she researches and writes about the history of her community, the former Dawn Settlement area. Her eclectic career has included graphic artist, reporter-photographer for community newspapers and church press, and rural organizer of outreach to migrant agricultural workers"-- Provided by publisher.

Introduction -- Spectrum discovery and acceptance therapy -- Excavating yourself -- Find your place on the spectrum -- Accepting your disability needs -- Empathy goes both ways -- Autistic shutdown -- Communication -- Reverse social skills training -- The complex world of emotions and intuition -- Loving yourself fully and completely -- Acknowledgments -- References. In the not-so-distant past, autistic children were taught that their neurodivergent traits were unacceptable.

Written by a therapist who is also autistic, this neurodiversity-affirming workbook guides the reader to unmask, and provides the tools and skills needed to thrive authentically and succeed in a neurotypical world.

Perspectives on disability and accommodation


Canadiana. Includes bibliographical references. "This book, edited by Kelly Williams-Whitt, RN, MBA, PhD, University of Lethbridge and Daphne Taras, MA, MBA, LLM, PhD, Dean at the University of Saskatchewan, Edwards School of Business is divided into three parts: Part I: Foundations of the Duty to Accommodate: Perspectives from the Legal Profession - This section of the book includes four chapters that address legal complications that have arisen from the duty to accommodate disability in the workplace. The authors analyze difficult issues that have emerged as ethically-based, legal imperatives meet the reality of the workplace practice. Part II: Practicing Disability Accommodation: Perspectives from the Workplace - This section gives voice to those on the front lines: employees with disabilities, employers, unions and case managers. Each of the six chapters in this section offers a unique perspective that highlights best practices as well as common challenges and also integrates research and theory, giving rise to new ideas that may help eliminate barriers for those re-entering the workforce as well as those charged with facilitating that process. Part III: Accommodation Partners: Perspectives from Outside the Employment Relationship - This section of the book incorporates the views of accommodation partners from outside of the employment relationship. The role of physicians, physical therapists, vocational rehabilitation, and workers compensation boards are critically (and sometimes humorously) examined, to illustrate public policies that work, and those that don't." -- publisher's website.

Love is powerful

Brewer, Heather Dean,

"What does it mean to be queer and Muslim in a world that insists you cannot be both? Queer and Muslim is a powerful collection of deeply personal stories from LGBTQ Muslims across the diaspora ... voices that have historically been silenced. Through essays, poems, letters to past and future selves, readings of the Qur'an, and more, contributors navigate the difficult and often painful intersections of faith, identity, and belonging, challenging the perception that queerness and spirituality are inherently incompatible. These raw accounts confront the psychological toll of grappling with tensions between religious expectations and queer identity, revealing the profound impacts of double marginalization on mental health. They tell of building chosen families and reconnecting with birth families, of finding healing in collective care, and of reclaiming faith on your own terms. Queer and Muslim creates a space where LGBTQ Muslim identities can thrive, redefining mental health in a way that values spiritual, cultural, and psychological needs equally. In an era of rising Islamophobia and escalating threats to queer and trans lives, the stories contained within Queer and Muslim ... stories of resilience, acceptance, and joy ... are vital, each of them an act of resistance and declaration of their right to exist in all their complexity."-- Provided by publisher.

Challenges in disability management : a resource manual for return to work practitioners

Corbett, Garry,


Canadiana. "Every return to work practitioner learns very quickly that the scope of knowledge needed to be effective in the field of disability management and return to work is vast. The individual is required to have some understanding of such diverse areas as disability management theory and practice; legislation and benefit programs; labour management relations; communication and problem-solving skills; disability case management; return to work coordination; health, psychosocial and functional aspects of disability; injury and illness prevention; program management and evaluation; and ethical and professional conduct. In addition, the return to work practitioner must become familiar with medical diagnosis and terminology, job requirements at the worksite, physical capacity assessments, job accommodation, dispute resolution, documentation and report writing - to name but a few. As any one of these areas requires an individual to undergo years of study and practice, it is clear from the outset that to be an expert in all of these areas is impossible. The best the return to work practitioner can do is to have a solid foundation from which to provide service, to continuously learn while doing the job, and to know where to obtain expert advice. The purpose of this manual is to be a resource for the return to work practitioner and is to be used in conjunction with basic texts or other handbooks on disability management. It is designed to assist the return to work practitioner in undertaking some of the more challenging tasks they are assigned. The manual is divided into two parts. Part I discusses some disabling conditions that present particular challenges to the practitioner. In Part II, approaches to handling some challenging areas of practice related to many workers or to particular work settings are presented." -- publisher's website.

Is this autism? : a guide for clinicians and everyone else

Henderson, Donna A.,

Though our understanding of autism has greatly expanded, many autistic individuals are still missed or misdiagnosed. This highly-readable book clarifies the many ways that autism can present, particularly in people who camouflage in order to hide their autistic traits. The authors take the reader step-by-step through the diagnostic criteria, incorporating the latest research as well as quotes from over 100 autistic contributors that bring that research to life. They also describe the many aspects of autism that are not included in the current diagnostic criteria, such as autistic strengths and co-occurring disorders. Readers will learn about highly relevant topics, such as different types of empathy, sensory systems that are not well known, neuro-crash and burnout, and relative vs. absolute thinking. This book provides a deep, current, and neurodiversity-affirmative understanding of the less obvious presentations of autism. It is relevant to all healthcare professionals, educators, family members, autistic individuals, and anyone who is curious about autism.--Publisher.

It also provides guidance regarding cultural considerations, common mistakes, and how to communicate with and support clients through the diagnostic process. This very practical clinical guide provides a clear and neurodiversity-affirmative approach to autism assessment, particularly for autistic individuals who have previously been missed. It is relevant to all healthcare professionals who want to learn how to identify autism in their clients.--Publisher.

Critical neurophilosophy and Indigenous wisdom

Jacobs, Donald Trent.

This book begins a long overdue dialogue between Western neuropsychology and Indigenous wisdom. The latter holds that technology, including that which supports the neurosciences, is an important aspect of humanity, but that without a deeper understanding of the sacred, natural world, its consequences will continue to disrupt the balance of life on Earth. This book argues that without incorporating Indigenous wisdom into theories relating to brain research and scientific assumptions about human nature, humanity may never learn how to avoid this problem. After summarizing current studies about such important topics as generosity, truthfulness, courage, humor, art, spirituality and lateralization, two indigenous scholars and a South Korean neuroscientist discuss the research conclusions. In most cases, the ancient knowledge of Indigenous Peoples reveals significantly contrasting perspectives. By offering students of neuropsychology and the various schools of neurophilosophy radically different views than those seen through the lens of Western science, this book will help assure that understandings about the human brain may lead to a more healthy balance in human affairs. .

Achor, Shawn,

Includes bibliographical references and index. "The bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage reveals why our potential is not limited by what we on our own can achieve; rather, our success is amplified by the successes of those around us. He offers five strategies for exponentially raising our achievement and performance by helping others--colleagues, teams, and employees--be better. For decades, we have thought about potential as being a constellation of individual traits: your creativity, your abilities, your intelligence. But new research shows that this version of potential--what Achor calls Small Potential--is deeply flawed, and places a ceiling on the level of success we can achieve. Because we now know that all these traits are in fact interconnected, and that by pursuing success individually, we have been leaving much of our potential untapped. Big Potential works not in isolation, but rather as part of an ecosystem. So when we help those around us succeed, we not only raise the performance of the group, but we also create a virtuous cycle by which we in turn become more successful ourselves. Drawing on cutting-edge original research as well as his work with executives, educators, and leaders around the globe, Achor shows how we can all lift the ceiling on our potential by helping others realize theirs"-- "The bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage reveals why our potential is not limited by what we on our own can achieve; rather, our success is amplified by the successes of those around us.

"The Social and Emotional Core of Equity Leadership: A Guide for Driving Change in Schools is a practical guide for educational leaders committed to creating inclusive schools where all students feel a sense of belonging. Challenging traditional approaches to social and emotional learning (SEL), this book argues that adult SEL must be rooted in equity and justice, not compliance or neutrality. Through vivid case studies, research-informed frameworks, and a structured reflection tool, readers explore how inner work (like identity reflection, emotional self-awareness, and bias interruption) must fuel outer work (like policy change, community engagement, and institutional redress). Organized around five core SEL domains, the book offers concrete strategies for making equity actionable, particularly in moments of resistance, controversy, or discomfort. Written for principals, district leaders, and school leadership teams, this book is ideal for those navigating real-world pressures while striving to lead with clarity and conscience. Whether you're rethinking discipline systems, addressing bias in dress codes, or responding to exclusion that flies under the radar, this book helps you lead more skilfully and justly"-- back cover.

"Being a transgender* or gender creative (T*GC) child in the United States today means being the subject of a national debate about whether you are entitled to exist, live a full life, or control your body. T*GC students have suffered outside of and within schools, experiencing among the highest rates of academic exclusion, vulnerability to bullying and violence, poor mental health, and troubling life outcomes due to bias, stigma, and discrimination. At the time this manuscript was completed, the Human Rights Campaign had officially declared a “State of Emergency'' for LGBTQ+ Americans. Of the over 600 anti-LGBTQ+ bills recently introduced across the nation, nearly a third directly target trans* and gender-creative people, particularly children, violating both civil and human rights. Fortunately, not all bills will pass, and activists are moving liberation work forward everywhere every day. T* Is for Thriving offers collected wisdom from educators and community members about meeting T*GC students’ needs in schools in order to light a path toward their thriving. In it, the editors, Kia Darling-Hammond and Bre Evans-Santiago, have curated lesson plans that offer models for inclusive instruction, along with stories that amplify community guidance about how to be responsive, affirming, and celebratory of T*GC needs, histories, and contributions in schools. These stories and lessons are an immediate resource for advancing a pedagogy of hope and possibility, both in the present and the future. T* Is for Thriving is essential reading for anyone involved in developing and defending the rights of educators and students. It is the perfect text for courses in teacher education, as well as those focused on social justice, LGBTQ+ topics, and critical pedagogy." -- publisher's website.

Plants have so much to give us, all we have to do is ask : Anishinaabe botanical teachings /

Geniusz, Mary Siisip, 1948-

Includes bibliographical references and index. Traditional Anishinaabe teaching about plants -- Indinawemaaganag : all of my relatives -- Conifers -- Three food plants -- Four traditional plants in the Anishinaabeg culture -- Medicinal plants --Epilogue -- Recipes -- Ojibwe word glossary -- Ojibwe plant name glossary -- Bibliography -- Index. "Mary Siisip Geniusz has spent more than thirty years working with, living with, and using the Anishinaabe teachings, recipes, and botanical information she shares in Plants Have So Much to Give Us, All We Have to Do Is Ask. Geniusz gained much of the knowledge she writes about from her years as an oshkaabewis, a traditionally trained apprentice, and as friend to the late Keewaydinoquay, an Anishinaabe medicine woman from the Leelanau Peninsula in Michigan and a scholar, teacher, and practitioner in the field of native ethnobotany. Keewaydinoquay published little in her lifetime, yet Geniusz has carried on her legacy by making this body of knowledge accessible to a broader audience. Geniusz teaches the ways she was taught—through stories. Sharing the traditional stories she learned at Keewaydinoquay’s side as well as stories from other American Indian traditions and her own experiences, Geniusz brings the plants to life with narratives that explain their uses, meaning, and history. Stories such as “Naanabozho and the Squeaky-Voice Plant” place the plants in cultural context and illustrate the belief in plants as cognizant beings. Covering a wide range of plants, from conifers to cattails to medicinal uses of yarrow, mullein, and dandelion, she explains how we can work with those beings to create food, simple medicines, and practical botanical tools. Plants Have So Much to Give Us, All We Have to Do Is Ask makes this botanical information useful to native and nonnative healers and educators and places it in the context of the Anishinaabe culture that developed the knowledge and practice." -- publisher's website.

Rise, Red River

Beagan, Tara,

Canadiana. A play. | Text in English, French, and Anishinaabemowin. "A woman trawls the bottom of a riverbed with a makeshift plough, hoping to dislodge something--anything. The world has drastically changed: rivers run dry, rampant bushfires leave little left to burn. Still she persists searching for the stories of her loved ones, maybe even her own. She is not alone--an ancestor watches nearby. This desolate landscape is about to unearth its long-held secrets. Inspired by the grassroots organization Drag the Red, which searches for evidence of missing Indigenous women, girls, and 2 Spirit people in the Red River of Treaty One Territory, this ethereal and engrossing drama is a profound offering to those who persevere in spite of sorrow. Told in Anishinaabemowin, English, and French, Tara Beagan's prophetic play draws a direct connection between the treatment of Indigenous peoples and the abuse inflicted on the land. Fluid and majestic like the river itself, Rise, Red River is an invocation, a revelation, and a call to action."-- back cover.

Friendship can be hard for many Neurodivergent adults. There is an assumption that good, worthwhile friendships "should" come easy. However, for Neurodivergent adults, there are brain-based reasons why friendship can feel less intuitive. From differences in the parts of the brain that are vital to managing the logistics of a fulfilling social life to difficulty with self-regulation, the way neurodiverse individuals experience social bonding and connection can feel unintuitive. Friendship Skills For Neurodivergent Adults is a guide to navigate these differences, broken into three parts: 1. How friendship works 2. How to find your people 3. How connecting will get you in motion With the guidance of Friendship Skills For Neurodivergent Adults, readers will feel less alone, and have the tools to understand the unique way neurodiverse individuals can approach friendship.

How climate works -- How our planet is changing -- How it affects us -- What we've done about it --What we must do now. "We still have time to change the world. From climate change activist Greta Thunberg comes the essential handbook for making it happen. You might think it's an impossible task: secure a safe future for life on Earth, at a scale and speed never seend, against all odds. There is hope -- but only if we listen to the science before it's too late. In The Climate Book, Greta Thunberg has gathered the wisdom of over one hundred experts -- geophysicists, oceanographers, and meteorologists; engineers, economists, and mathematicians; historians, philosophers, and Indigenous leaders -- to equip us all with the knowledge we need to combat climate disaster. Alongside them, she shares her own stories of demonstrating and uncovering greenwashing around the world, revealing how much we have been kept in the dark. This is one of out biggest challenges, she shows, but also our greatest source of hope. Once we are given the full picture, how can we not act? And if a schoolchild's strike could ignite a global protest, what could we do collectively if we tried? We are alive at the most decisive time in the history of humanity. Together, we can do the seemingly impossible. But it has to be us, and it has to be now."-- back cover.

Une histoire des Franco-Canadiens des Praires (1910-1962) : mémories de Raymond Denis

Denis, Raymond, 1885-1965.

Édition critique établie par Pierre-Yves Mocquais. Comprend des références bibliographiques. Né en Saintonge et arrivé en Saskatchewan en 1904, peu après ses 18 ans, Raymond Denis, ainsi qu'il l'écrit lui-même, a «été amené par les circonstances à prendre une part active à toutes les luttes nationales qui se sont livrées en Saskatchewan de 1910 à 1950». Dans cette édition critique abondamment annotée, Pierre-Yves Mocquais rassemble et unit plusieurs états de textes conservés dans des fonds d'archives en Saskatchewan et en Alberta et replace en contexte le témoignage unique de Raymond Denis sur l'histoire des Franco-Canadiens des Prairies durant la première moitié du XXe siècle, qui se battent pour leurs écoles et pour la création des stations de radio de langue française dans les trois provinces des Prairies. À la lecture de ces mémoires par «un des rares survivants de l'époque des pionniers», dans lesquels il relate près de quarante ans de luttes et des épisodes qu'il dit clairement être «le seul à connaître», le lecteur ne peut que constater que, trois quarts de siècle plus tard, les Franco-Canadiens des Prairies sont encore condamnés à poursuivre des luttes presque identiques à celles pour lesquelles Raymond Denis s'est battu. -- back cover.

Mémoire des noms de lieux d'origine et d'influence françaises en Saskatchewan : répertoire toponymique /

Léonard, Carol Jean, 1952-

«Depuis plus de deux cent cinquante ans, les Français d’Amérique ont foulé un sol canadien que l’on dit aussi saskatchewannais. Ils y ont laissé leurs empreintes. L’une d’entre elles est la toponymie. Les plus anciens noms de lieux marqués du sceau de la langue française qu’on y rencontre remontent au Régime français. Au lendemain de la Conquête, le commerce des pelleteries, moteur de l’économie et de la découverte, reprend sous l’initiative des marchands de Montréal et de Québec, puissamment épaulés par les voyageurs, pagayeurs réputés infatigables. Le long de leur route, ils sèment des noms à leur image et à celle des occupants amérindiens au-devant desquels ils vont. En Saskatchewan, certains toponymes associés à des lieux souvent remarquables par leur taille perpétuent le souvenir de leurs passages Avant qu’ils ne s’évanouissent dans les replis de l’histoire, les voyageurs et leurs épouses amérindiennes donnent naissance à une nation métisse. Elle prend le relais. Les Métis maintiennent en maints lieux les désignations françaises héritées de leurs pères. Puis, c’est la colonisation subite et massive de l’Ouest. Elle modifie profondément le paysage et la toponymie de la Saskatchewan. Cette province se constelle alors d’une multitude de nouveaux noms. Nombre de toponymes français se voient condamnés à n’occuper désormais que les replis des mémoires et ceux des cartes anciennes. Ainsi, la Saskatchewan acquiert le visage toponymique qu’on lui connaît aujourd’hui. Fruit d’une recherche qui s’est étendue sur deux décennies, ce livre contient au-delà de 2500 noms de lieux d’origine et d’influence françaises en Saskatchewan. Son auteur poursuit l’ambition de faire connaître et de perpétuer le souvenir de ces toponymes contre lesquels toutes les conditions semblent s’être réunies au cours de l’histoire pour les faire passer de la lumière à l’obscurité. Il nous fait découvrir une toponymie abondante, un trésor identitaire, indice majeur de la dimension continentale qu’a connue la présence française en Amérique.» -- publisher's website.

Seeing the math you teach, grades K-6 : an elementary teacher's quick-guide to meaningful mathematical strategies and representations /

Rimbey, Kimberly,

Includes index. "Making mathematics meaningful through multiple strategies and representations has taken a front seat in teaching and learning efforts in the past decade. Aligned with most state standards frameworks, this book presents many of the most common strategies and representations in visual format. This benefits teachers, math coaches, principals and other administrators, and parents as they view conceptual problem-solving strategies and representations side-side by side, leading up to standard algorithms. Originally designed to be used as a quick desk-reference for elementary classroom teachers and students, it has also been used in teacher development programs, and for supporting parents in understanding how current teaching methods lead to standard algorithms. It is available in both English and Spanish (2 versions, one book), making it useful in bilingual classrooms and with teachers who teach high populations of students who speak Spanish as their first language"-- Provided by publisher.

Award-winning librarian and ALA author Julia Stivers details how you can navigate these times and build library collections, spaces, and programs where our students are both seen and celebrated. Stivers shows how restorative practices—including community building, group circles, and actively repairing harm—can work to create more just, equitable spaces where identities and relationships are centered. You’ll learn how to build collections that reflect students’ identities, lived experiences, and interests, and how to avoid inequitable systems like book fairs, lost book fees, limited check-outs, and biased cataloguing, which create barriers to access for our most vulnerable students.
