When The Flock Flies
An eagle feather drifts down onto the forest floor, the sky shifts, a leaf falls, and the world of story is awake in me once more. A place where Sun dogs streak the sky, Northern Lights beckon, and those Canada Geese call me home. Nothing can stop the seasons from changing. Nothing can stop the story from unfolding…. In this second book, I invite you to look up and see the sky that I feel… bigger than the land we walk on… that endless space, timeless place, where my spirit is compelled to fly. Come with me and let the stories be spoken out loud for all to hear. Stories: Soul Mates Yukon Time The Skywatcher The Teenager Agnus Rock, Tree, River Dad’s Piano Stubble Jumper One Last Day

Under the Wide Blue Sky
To mark Alberta's Centennial, the Alberta League Encouraging Storytelling has brought together eighteen tales that reflect the diverse experience of Albertans in their province. These stories reflect experiences from longtime residents and recent immigrants, from the aboriginal community and settlers in the province. There are practical jokes and rich gossip-and musings about the very nature of storytelling itself. Most of the stories have never appeared in written form, so the collection is a treasure house of Alberta lore, caught for all time in these pages. Readers will be inspired to collect the bits and pieces of stories from their own lives, to believe in their story enough to tell it to someone, to become the storyteller.

In June of that year a Native member of the Manitoba legislature, Elijah Harper, shrewdly manipulated the rules of that body to effectively kill the Meech Lake constitutional accord because its' provisions for entrenching Native self-determination were insufficient ... Before the shock of this evenet had subsided the Oka crisis was exploding from the nation's televisions and newpapers. In a now infamous confrontation, members of the Quebec provincial police stormed the barricade set up by Mohawk warriors ..."--Back cover.
