Eastern Townships Saint: Lily Esther Butter

$21.00

Lily Butters was the wife of a World War I vet and farmer. She and her husband had immigrated to Canada from England in 1929. In 1947, at the age of 53, she founded a centre in Austin (East Bolton), Quebec for mentally disabled children (including many Down Syndrome sufferers) and named it in memory of her dead son, Cecil. She continually expanded her farmhouse until the centre housed over 400 children by 1966. Her influence is still felt today by hundreds of (past and current) beneficiaries, parents and Butters employees. This is Lily’s story: the beginning, the crises, the triumphs, the end of the original Butters centre and the rebirth of Lily’s legacy through new Butters organizations.

Eeyou Istchee

$53.00

Thirty-five years ago, the Quebec government signed a landmark accord with indigenous peoples in the northern reaches of the province after it initiated the first of several large-scale hydroelectric projects in James Bay. Since then, the once-nomadic Cree of the region have undergone dramatic changes in their way of life. Today they reside in self-governed modern communities. But the bush and the traditions that evolved there remain central to their identity, as Eeyou Istchee: Land of the Cree so eloquently bears witness. This book is the most comprehensive photo essay ever produced on the Cree people of eastern James Bay. It features more than two hundred photographs by Louise Abbott and Niels Jensen, along with a trilingual text based largely on interviews with Cree residents. The sensitive images portray the annual cycle of activities among the Cree, including summer gatherings, the fall moose hunt, winter wellness journeys (or “winter walks,” as they’re often called), and the spring goose hunt. They also highlight the flora, fauna, and geography of Eeyou Istchee, as the Cree call their far-flung territory.
