"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."--

"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."--

Loccum zählt zu den bekanntesten und besterhaltenen niedersächsischen Klöstern. Vermutlich 1163 durch die Grafen von Hallermund gegründet, konnte der Zisterzienserkonvent bis etwa 1330 umfangreichen Grundbesitz erwerben: In der Umgebung zwischen dem Steinhuder Meer und der Weser entstand eine geschlossene Grundherrschaft, weitere Schwerpunkte lagen nördlich des Klosters bis in die Grafschaft Hoya hinein, bei Wunstorf und Rinteln, zwischen Deister, Süntel und Leineniederung sowie rund um Oedelum. Der umfangreich erhaltene Urkundenbestand, der nicht zuletzt die bedeutende Ausbauphase des Klosters widerspiegelt, ist Gegenstand des vorliegenden Werkes. Es liefert zuverlässige Kurzregesten und Abschriften von über 1600 Urkunden vom ausgehenden 12. bis in das späte 16. Jahrhundert. Das Urkundenbuch wird durch einen geschichtlichen Überblick eingeleitet und durch ausführliche Register erschlossen. Der Band setzt die Reihe der niedersächsisch-bremischen Urkundenbücher fort, deren Herausgabe zu den langfristigen Arbeitsschwerpunkten der Historischen Kommission gehört. (Verlagsinformation)

In the Main City of Gdańsk, a certificate of the city council's control over the legal guardians of children who lost one or both parents, are two books of minors from 1441-1460 and 1451-1460. The supervision of the registers of this type was exercised by the masons. These entries included entries regarding the property of minors entrusted by their guardians to the municipal council for safekeeping. These books also show the further fate of funds belonging to minors and financial operations carried out by their guardians (eg investments in the pension market). They are also an interesting source for research on Gdansk's financial policy in the times of political change, such as the Thirteen Years' War
