MemoirsMarch 2012Dancing Through History
In Search of the Stories That Define Canada
by Lori Henry
In Dancing Through History, Henry crosses Canada's vast physical and ethnic terrain to uncover how its various cultures have evolved through their dances. Her coast-to-coast journey takes her to Haida Gwaii in British Columbia, where she witnesses the seldom seen animist dances of the islands' First Nation people. In the Arctic, Henry partakes in Inuit drum dancing, kept alive by a new generation of Nunavut youth. And in CapeBreton, she uncovers the ancient "step dance" of the once culturally oppressed Gaels of Nova Scotia. During her travels, Henry discovers that dance helps to break down barriers and encourage cooperation between people with a history of injustice. Dance, she finds, can provide key insight into what people value most as a culture, which is often more similar than it seems. It is this kind of understanding that goes beyond our divisive histories and gives us compassion for one another. Unique to this book, Dancing Through History includes first person interviews with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit (Canada's Aboriginal groups) talking about their traditions and the effect colonisation has had on them, all through the lens of dance. Their voices are given ample space to speak for themselves – what is revealed is a beautiful worldview and many lessons to be learned in order to have a healthy planet and tolerant people as we move into the future. Book Details: This is an adult non-fiction book of Canadian content. The target market is curious travellers and those interested in culture beyond the typical tourist traps. Sales have ranged from junior high schools to retired baby boomers. Interested publishers can make an offer directly on the profile page to buy available rights.

A Dusty Day at the Museum
A small museum guide for children
by Dorothea Blankenhagen
Fuzzy is a cheeky little ball of dust that lives in a corner of the grand museum with her family. One day, a gust of wind comes rushing through the hall and carries her off on a great adventure. An adventure during which she encounters interesting creatures from all over the world: she narrowly escapes a mighty tiger, competes with a friendly antelope from Africa, is thrown out of her picture by an Indian hunting party, flees from an octopus from the coast of South America and lands with a funny Chinese dragon... This picture book not only brings the Humboldt Forum exhibits – and dust bunnies – to life, but it is also a really nice introduction to different kind of art.
