"Moving the museum : indigenous & Canadian Art at the AGO documents the reopening of the J.S. McLean Centre for Indigenous & Canadian Art with a renewed focus on the AGO's Indigenous art collection. The volume reflects the nation to nation treaty relationship that is the foundation of Canada, asking questions, discovering truths, and leading conversations that address the weight of history. Lavishly illustrated with more than 100 reproductions, Indigenous & Canadian Art at the AGO features the work of First Nations artists--including Carl Beam, Rebecca Belmore, and Kent Monkman--along with work by Inuit artists like Shuvinai Ashoona and Annie Pootoogook. Canadian artists include Lawren Harris, Kazuo Nakamura, Joyce Wieland, and many others. Drawing from stories about our origins and identities, the featured artists and essayists invite readers to engage with issues of land, water, transformation, and sovereignty and to contemplate the historic representation of Indigenous and Canadian art in museums. Contains a list of works at the back."--

Das Kloster Riddagshausen prägte durch seine herausragende Stellung als wirtschaftliches und geistliches Zentrum das Land Braunschweig nachhaltig. Das in Braunschweig gelegene Zisterzienserkloster Riddagshausen blickt auf eine bewegte Geschichte zurück. 1145 im Interessenbereich des welfischen Hauses und der sich entwickelnden Stadt Braunschweig gegründet, wurde das Kloster mehrfach zu einem Stützpunkt der Landesherren gegenüber der Stadt. Dabei kam es verschiedentlich zu militärischer Bedrohung, in konfessionellen Auseinandersetzungen wie 1492 wurde das Kloster sogar zeitweilig zerstört. Zugleich war es ein geistliches Zentrum der breiten Bevölkerung und übte Einfluss auf Klöster im Reich aus, beispielsweise als Mutterkloster von Marienrode und Wahlshausen an der Fulda. Wirtschaftlich war es durch seinen reichen Besitz sowie den Salz- und Tuchhandel prägend für die Region. Der umfangreiche Urkundenbestand des Klosters umfasst die Zeit vom 12. bis zum 18. Jahrhundert. In zwei Bänden werden 1.087 Urkunden bis in das Jahr 1500 abgedruckt, mit Kurzregesten zugänglich gemacht und durch ausführliche Register erschlossen. Die Begründungen der Schenkungen, Stiftungen und Amtsgeschäfte vermitteln einen Eindruck des wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Lebens sowie des religiösen und politischen Wandels, geben zugleich aber auch Einblick in Angst, Vertrauen sowie tiefe Gläubigkeit.

"Members of Eli Baxter's generation are the last of the hunting and gathering societies living on Turtle Island. They are also among the last fluent speakers of the Anishinaabay language known as Anishinaabaymowin. Aki-wayn-zih is a story about the land and its spiritual relationship with the Anishinaabayg, from the beginning of their life on Miss-koh-tay-sih Minis (Turtle Island) to the present day. Baxter writes about Anishinaabay life before European contact, his childhood memories of trapping, hunting, and fishing with his family on traditional lands in Treaty 9 territory, and his personal experience surviving the residential school system. Examining how Anishinaabay Kih-kayn-daa-soh-win (knowledge) is an elemental concept embedded in the Anishinaabay language, Aki-wayn-zih explores history, science, math, education, philosophy, law, and spiritual teachings, outlining the cultural significance of language to Anishinaabay identity. Recounting traditional Ojibway legends in their original language, fables in which moral virtues double as survival techniques, and detailed guidelines for expertly trapping or ensnaring animals, Baxter reveals how the residential school system shaped him as an individual, transformed his family, and forever disrupted his reserve community and those like it. Through spiritual teachings, historical accounts, and autobiographical anecdotes, Aki-wayn-zih offers a new form of storytelling from the Anishinaabay point of view."--
