Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The heated controversy over proposals to exterminate the herds in Wood Buffalo National Park is a reminder of the significance the buffalo has acquired, standing symbolically at the point of interaction between aboriginal and white cultures and the plains environment. In Buffalo, specialists in the natural and social sciences, the humanities and fine arts examine the involvement of the buffalo in plains ecology and culture from its prehistoric evolution and migration to its present and uncertain future. The importance of the buffalo in plains Indian culture is explored in essays on the development of the Cultural World Heritage Site at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump and in an historical study of the last decade before the extinction of the wild herds. Its imaginative appropriation by white culture is traced through a survey of verbal and pictorial images of the buffalo from the sixteenth century to the present, culminating in a display of full-colour prints of paintings by Clarence Tillenius, the dean of Canadian wildlife painters. Five essays are devoted to issues fueling the current controversy: the history of exploitation and restoration of the wood buffalo, the factor of wolf predation in the Peace-Athabasca Delta, the scientific case for extermination of diseased herds, the importance of aboriginal involvement in decisions affecting the buffalo, and the findings of medical science regarding the danger of bovine tuberculosis and brucellosis to human beings. Finally, getting right down to earth, the volume concludes with a report on rigorous research into the thermal properties of buffalo chips as fuel. Buffalo is the first in a new multi-disciplinary series of books under the general editorship of John Foster and Dick Harrison. The Alberta Nature and Culture Series offers informed commentary on Alberta and its people, past and present, and on related national and international issues.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is a shrink-wrapped four-volume set.Paul Kane has been called the founding father of Canadian art, and Wanderings of an Artist among the Indians of North America a classic of Canadian literature. Yet his studio canvases are stereotypically generic, and his book is infamous: in word and in image, it depicts vain, vengeful, vicious, violent, and vanishing Indigenous people, disregarding its subjects' lived experiences and providing little of ethnohistorical significance. Paul Kane's Travels in Indigenous North America rediscovers the primary fieldwork underlying Kane's studio art and book and the process by which his sketches and field writings evolved into damaging stereotypes with significant authority in the nineteenth century, in both popular and learned circles.In 1845 Kane travelled from Toronto to Lake Huron and Wisconsin; he continued from 1846 to 1848 to the upper Great Lakes, to the Prairies, across the Rockies, down the Columbia River, and through Oregon Territory to Puget Sound and Vancouver Island. The sketches he made constitute the first visual record of Indigenous life all the way from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Ocean. Paul Kane's Travels in Indigenous North America, which reproduces nearly all his sketches as well as transcriptions of all his field writings, reveals him as a curious traveller fascinated by Indigenous lifeways. Together with a transcription of a draft manuscript for the book, which is not in his handwriting, the text of the first edition of Wanderings of an Artist, and a revised catalogue raisonné, these materials contextualize his travels in fur-trade history, book history, art history, and ethnohistory, offering scholarly understandings of the lives and histories of the real people Kane described and depicted while providing an authoritative biographical portrait of the artist. I.S. MacLaren reconstructs the colonial processes that turned Kane's unique encounters with Indigenous peoples into benighted stereotypes, teaching us valuable lessons about what we thought we knew about Kane, how he let himself be turned into an Indian hater, and how historical society endowed him with authority.A painstaking, panoramic exploration, Paul Kane's Travels in Indigenous North America also studies the artist's oeuvre in terms of his contemporaries, his technique, and the complicated history of the provenance of the works. The whole lays the groundwork for future discussions of the pertinence of Paul Kane's documentary record to Indigenous studies in North America.…
