Achimoona means stories in the Cree language. This collection of 10 stories for children ages 8 and up were written by eight Native authors during a workshop in 1985. Metis author Maria Campbell has written an introduction that explains the importance of storytellers in Native cultures and their changing role. She describes the process undertaken by Jordan Wheeler, Bernalda Wheeler, Pricilla Settee, Wes Fineday, Harvey Knight, Peter Deranger, Darlene Frenette and John Cuthand to tell their stories for today's children. In The Hockey Game, a young Native boy boarding with a non-native family tries to make sense of his new surroundings. Naska is a powerful story written from the point of view of a northern pike as she hunts in the Saskatchewan River. Each story combines the wisdom of traditional values with contemporary situations. The book includes 16 colour reproductions of art by well-known Native artists. Achimoona represents one of the first literary collections for children by First Nations authors.

The occupation of Alcatraz Island represents the longest continuous occupation of a federal facility by any minority group in US history. Alcatraz set in motion a wave of overtly nationalist Indian militancy that ultimately resulted in abandonment of the US government's policy of termination and the adoption of a policy of Indian self-determination. This publication commemorates the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Alcatraz occupation and presents poetry and political statements written by Indian people during the occupation or in commemoration of the event.

Throughout the world, the image of the cowboy is an instantly recognized symbol of the North American West. This lavishly illustrated book tells the story of some of the first cowboys -the Native peoples of the Plains and Plateau. The story begins with the special relationship that Native peoples living in western North America have had with the horse, buffalo, coyote and dog. Accounts of these relationships have been passed from generation to generation through songs, dances and stories. These animals were, and for many peoples continue to be, an important part of their social, spiritual and economic life.

This book confronts the myth that Californian history and civilization began with the Franciscan missionaries, and it exposes the brutality of these missionaries against the American Indians. It describes Indian life prior to Spanish colonization, deals with the activities of missionaries in California and the Indians' reaction to missionization, looks at the problem of genocide and slavery in the missions, and provides testimony from Indian people who have openly protested the canonization of one Californian catholic missionary.
