In Lost Harvests Sarah Carter reveals that reserve residents were anxious to farm and expended considerable effort on cultivation; government policies, more than anything else, acted to undermine their success. Despite repeated requests for assistance from Plains Indians, the Canadian government provided very little help between 1874 and 1885, and what little they did give proved useless. Although drought, frost, and other natural phenomena contributed to the failure of early efforts, reserve farmers were determined to create an economy based on agriculture and to become independent of government regulations and the need for assistance. Officials in Ottawa, however, attributed setbacks not to economic or climatic conditions but to the Indians' character and traditions which, they claimed, made the Indians unsuited to agriculture. In the decade following 1885 government policies made farming virtually impossible for the Plains Indians. They were expected to subsist on one or two acres and were denied access to any improvements in technology: farmers had to sow seed by hand, harvest with scythes, and thresh with flails. After the turn of the century, the government encouraged land surrenders in order to make good agricultural land available to non-Indian settlers. This destroyed any chance the Plains Indians had of making agriculture a stable economic base. Through an examination of the relevant published literature and of archival sources in Ottawa, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, Carter provides an in-depth study of government policy, Indian responses, and the socio-economic condition of the reserve communities on the prairies in the post-treaty era. The new introduction by the author offers a reflection on Lost Harvests, the influences that shaped it, and the issues and approaches that remain to be explored.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49691144487185,"sku":"DVDB000O59A52VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53416998404369,"sku":"CINB000O59A52G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53419290722577,"sku":"CINB00AQ6866SVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B000O59A52.jpg?v=1751192666"},{"product_id":"perry-mason-double-feature-perry-mason-returns-the-case-of-the-notorious-nun-dvd-0032429144607","title":"Perry Mason Double Feature: Perry Mason Returns \/ The Case of the Notorious Nun","description":"These poems offer a spiritual biography of a remarkable woman of faith, a Benedictine Oblate and spiritual adviser who lived her life according to St. Benedict's Holy Rule (ora and labora--pray and work). Juxtaposed with poems on her life, others reflect on Benedictine traditions such as praying the Liturgy of the Hours, taking vows of stability, hospitality, silence, plus engendering respect for the environment and all living things. This collection includes a variety of poetic forms, styles, and voices, even St. Benedict's. Philip Kolin's new volume, Benedict's Daughter: Poems, has captured the spirit of one he greatly admired and in whom he saw the saintly qualities we all should seek and aspire to make our own. The context of his poems beautifully echoes the spirit of St. Benedict reflected in the spirituality and liturgical life of monasticism--and in the small dynamo known as Midge. Midge, cultivating the monk within, lived her life of love and service not within the monastic cloister, but in the world of family and those she touched with the humble love of a servant. . . . As always, Kolin's poetic words bespeak an eye that sees beyond the superficial and penetrates to the very essence of all things--God Himself. --Abbot Cletus Meagher, OSB, St. Bernard Abbey, Cullman, AL These are rich and beautiful poems that sing the sacred in ordinary lives of work and prayer, that fill the page with the longings and satisfactions of men and women focused on human need and on God. What could be more holy than that? --Jill Baumgaertner, Poetry Editor, Christian Century This is a story of extraordinary devotion, told in poems of great feeling and deep conviction which usher us into that sacred precinct of spiritual friendship. It reads as both biography and encomium, as spiritual guide and as a lyric witness . . . Who could resist such poignant allurement, and who, caught by this holy spell, would not gladly follow the hearkening call, come what may of darkness or of light? --Mark S. Burrows, Poet; Professor of Religion and Literature, Protestant University of Applied Sciences, Bochum, Germany Philip C. Kolin is the Distinguished Professor of English (Emeritus) at the University of Southern Mississippi where he also edits the Southern Quarterly. He has written or edited 40 books, including seven collections of poetry, the most recent being Emmett Till in Different States: Poems.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49696008241425,"sku":"DVDB00IWS74WOVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53422162149649,"sku":"CINB00IWS74WOG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53427578601745,"sku":"CINB00IWS74WOVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B00IWS74WO.jpg?v=1751161786"},{"product_id":"godzilla-dvd-0715515089418","title":"Godzilla","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ -
