Protecting Aboriginal Children
Since the 1980s, bands and tribal councils have developed unique community-based child welfare services to better protect Aboriginal children. Protecting Aboriginal Children explores contemporary approaches to the protection of Aboriginal children through interviews with practising social workers employed at Aboriginal child welfare organizations and the child protection service in British Columbia. It places current practice in a sociohistorical context, describes emerging practice in decolonizing communities, and identifies the effects of political and media controversy on social workers. This is the first book to document emerging practice in Aboriginal communities and describe child protection practice simultaneously from the point of view of the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal social worker.
The Untamed: A Sinner's Prayer #1
Seven Days for Seven Souls (Day 1 of 7) “I was given a second chance in death. Vengeance was offered and I was quick to accept.” A man with no name has returned to the brutal town of Oasis. Ten years it has been since the Stranger ran this town with malice and harshness. Even then, there was hope for his soul. His wife and daughter were on the verge of turning him from wickedness. But they were murdered, and so was he. Now he has returned, hell-bent on killing.
The Untamed
None
The Untamed: A Sinner's Prayer #2
Seven Days for Seven Souls (Day 2 of 7) “Good thing about an alleyway in my home town. You can scream and no one will care." A Stranger has returned to Oasis. A deal has been made. Seven souls for seven days. Now, he is holed up in a tavern cared for by a girl not old enough to remember his past. She radiates an innocence that defies his thirst for vengeance. But there is another soul to collect, and he shall find it within the brutal and blood soaked underbelly of the town: The Pit Fight Arena!
The Untamed: A Sinner's Prayer #5
Seven Days for Seven Souls (Day 5 of 7) “Not even hell can hold me!” The Town of Oasis has started to slip away from the Kraven King. His brother has delivered much death and retribution, and so Phylax resorted to an unholy alliance. The dread priest Grathlok summoned the Morkai Silver Elves of Morrok, but even they were not enough to stop a man on the path of vengeance. Now the Stranger will face his most fearsome enemy yet, the mute Orc, Kersheg. One more prize for the Untamed, and one more stain upon a dead man's soul.
The Untamed: A Sinner's Prayer #3
Seven Days for Seven Souls (Day 3 of 7) “She has a face that men kill for." Love versus lust. Can a man tell the difference? Two souls have been claimed, but Stranger’s focus for killing is distracted by a beautiful woman from his past. He is drawn to her without knowing why, trapped in a game he cannot win. With his guard down, he is nearly caught when he discovers the man responsible for his family’s death – Phylax, the leader of the Kraven - and Stranger’s older brother.
The Untamed: A Sinner's Prayer #4
Seven Days for Seven Souls (Day 4 of 7) “Do I look like a demon?" A third soul has been reaped by Stranger, but the killing proved difficult. He was a friend, caught in a greater game than either knew. Perhaps not all men deserve to die at Stranger’s hand. And so, a boy is spared – Stutters, the young Kraven con man Stranger reared like a son. Now they both have a choice to make. Revenge or redemption.
Walking This Path Together
Walking This Path Together is an edited collection devoted to improving the lives of children and families that come to the attention of child welfare authorities by demonstrating and advocating for socially just child welfare practices. In this new, updated edition, authors provide special consideration to the historical and political context of child welfare in Canada and theoretical ideas and concrete practices that support practitioners, educators and students who are looking for anti-racist, anti-oppressive and anti-colonial perspectives on child welfare practice.
Small Cities, Big Issues
Small Canadian cities confront serious social issues as a result of the neoliberal economic restructuring practiced by both federal and provincial governments since the 1980s. Drastic spending reductions and ongoing restraint in social assistance, income supports, and the provision of affordable housing, combined with the offloading of social responsibilities onto municipalities, has contributed to the generalization of social issues once chiefly associated with Canada’s largest urban centres. As the investigations in this volume illustrate, while some communities responded to these issues with inclusionary and progressive actions others were more exclusionary and reactive—revealing form...
