Hardback. Condición: Good. Following the bestselling success of the inspiring All the Way, pioneering Inuit NHLer Jordin Tootoo begins the process of healing in the wake of the suicide and violence that marks his family, only to discover the source of all that trauma in his father's secret past. For some hockey players, retirement marks the moment when it's all over. But Jordin Tootoo is not most hockey players. Having inspired millions when he first broke into the league, Tootoo continued to influence people throughout his career-not only through his very public triumph over alcoholism, but also his natural charisma. And now, years after hanging up his skates, he is more committed to doing things the right way and speaking about it to others, whether it's corporate executives or Indigenous youth. But the news of unmarked graves on the grounds of residential schools brought back to life many of the demons that had haunted his family. In a moment of realization that left him rattled and saddened, Tootoo fit the pieces together. The years that were never spoken of. The heavy drinking. The all too predictable violence. His father was a survivor, marked by what he had survived. As he travels back to Nunavut to try to speak with his father about what haunts him, he encounters the ghosts of the entire community. Still, as Tootoo says, we are continuously learning and rewriting our story at every step. He has learned from his mistakes and his victories. He has learned from examples of great courage and humility. He has learned from being a father and a husband. And he has learned from his own Inuk traditions, of perseverance and discipline in the face of hardship. Weaving together life's biggest themes with observations and experiences, Jordin shares the kind of wisdom he has had to specialize in-the hard-won kind.…

Condición: Fair. Thunderbird Roads: A Novel of Sky and CedarLeah is sent to build a museum show about Thunderbird-and refuses to turn many Nations' teachings into one tidy myth. On the coast and inland through British Columbia toward Thunder Bay, she learns to make rooms instead of answers: a listening bench where public wind-names play, a river map that breathes with high-water posts, a copper tools wall that leads with verbs-hammered, edged, kept-and a canoe shown for the work it does, not the symbol it could be.Elders and aunties set the pace. Youth engineers tune the loop. A hinge-mender oils the door; a soup-maker feeds the line; corrections are welcomed (mess becomes harm), and private stories stay in the houses they belong to. Weather moves through like a careful teacher. The door says four things: Welcome. Listen here first. Stories differ by place. Please look with patience.Slow-burn and luminous, Thunderbird Roads is a novel about consent, plural truths, and the ordinary verbs that hold communities together-open, feed, correct, close. It honors many Nations of Turtle Island by staying specific, inviting readers to learn locally, and letting the work speak first. In the end, the answer is a posture anyone can practice: sit first, listen longer, leave the blanks blank.…
