*[AH,AN]ITEM AA10…INDIAN MOUNDS OF THE MIDDLE OHIO VALLEY [GUIDE TO ADENA AND HOPEWELL] $23 

by Susan L.Woodward and Jerry N.McDonald

This book is exactly what is indicated in the title – an on-the-ground guide, with extensive maps, diagrams and illustrations, including information such as the location of closest public washrooms – which will guide the reader through 41 specific mound sites in Ohio, with brief interpretive paragraphs on each site.  Kangaroo Poet Andrea Riel-Lean has visited every one of these sites

[AO,AH,GR]ITEM AH30…NATURAL BIRTH CONTROL: WITCH DOCTOR’S APPRENTICE Nicole Maxwell $19

Anthropologists have known for years that some South American tribes seem to have children exactly when they want to—and at no other time; that they seem to possess natural cures for arthritis, are able to regulate the blood sugar of diabetics with medicinal plants, can stop external bleeding and internal hemorrhaging, and are able to extract teeth painlessly.  For centuries these secrets have been guarded by tribal custom, handed down from one generation of medicine men to the next.  For over two decades, ethnologist and anthropologist Nicole Maxwell has explored the Amazon River basin in search of these potential cures—living among the natives, winning their trust, and collecting plant specimens for laboratory analysis. This book is the story of that search and Maxwell’s findings. B&w centre-photos

[AH,]ITEM AH60...THE MANITOUS: SPIRITUAL WORLD OF THE OJIBWAY Basil Johnston $29

Spiritual tales, tribal teachings, and native legends are evocatively interwoven through the time-honoured oral tradition of the Ojibway.   Manitous are mysteries and spirits – the essences – that infuse and safeguard plants and animals, including humans, in all aspects of life.  These tales about them are simple in narration but complex in spirit, rich with incident and detail.  Here are tricksters, tree spirits, wise grandmothers, and seductive maidens.  Here we meet fearsome Windigos, the half-human half Manitou creatures who represent both of their worlds to the other side.  Here we find The Prophecy of changes in the world to come.  Most of these stories have never previously been written down.

[AHA,EM]ITEM EM00...First Day Cover, Oct.25, 1990, NORVAL MORRISSEAU VIRGIN MARY CHRISTMAS POSTAGE STAMP $12

Offered for sale is the First Day Cover issued by Canada Post on October 25, 1990 when the 1990 edition of the annual Christmas postage issue first went on sale.  This cover presents 3 of the 4 stamps in the set, featuring the 39 cent Norval Morrisseau Canada Christmas stamp, Virgin Mary with Christ Child and Saint John the Baptist # 1294.

Canada Post Corporation's annual Christmas set features the works of four native Canadian artists. Each one has depicted the nativity or the origin of human life according to their particular cultural beliefs. Jackson Beardy's "Rebirth" (Cree) is seen on the 34¢ GREET MORE stamp. It is a rendering of the beginnings of life and its cycles of existence. On the 39¢ domestic rate, Norval Morrisseau (Ojibwe) "nativizes" a classic Christian image in his painting "Virgin Mary with Christ Child and St. John the Baptist." The green stone sculpture, "Mother and Child", created by a Cape Dorset Inuit artist (believed to be Lutka Qiatsuk), is featured on the 45¢ U.S. rate design. And the 78¢ international rate stamp uses Bill Reid's serigraph on paper, "Children of the Raven", portraying the first human beings entering the world according to Haida belief. Montreal graphic designer Clermont Malenfant put distinctive backgrounds of metallic colours, textile, blanket or tapestry patterns from each artist's culture together with the artwork and the appropriate translation of the Christmas wish "Peace on Earth".
