No home in a homeland : indigenous peoples and homelessness in the Canadian North / Julia Christensen. by Christensen, Julia, author. Vancouver ; Toronto : UBC Press, [2017] Description:  xiv, 290 pages : map, charts ; 24 cm Contents:  Homelessness is an outside word : understanding indigenous homelessness -- Before contact, my ancestors travelled constantly : mapping uneven geographies -- Never felt at home : northern pathways to homelessness -- It's so easy to burn your bridges : policy landscapes of northern housing and enmployment -- They want a different life : rural-urban movements and home seeking -- Our home, our way of life : home, homeland, and spiritual homelessness. Summary:  "The Dene, a traditionally nomadic people, have no word for homelessness, a rare condition in the Canadian North prior to the 1990s. Julia Christensen documents the rise of Indigenous homelessness and proposes solutions by interweaving analysis of the region's unique history with personal narratives of homeless men and women in two cities--Yellowknife and Inuvik. What emerges is a larger story of displacement and intergenerational trauma, hope and renewal. Understanding what it means to be homeless in the North and how Indigenous people think about home and homemaking is the first step, Christensen argues, on the path to decolonizing existing approaches and practices."-- Notes:  Issued also in electronic format.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 362.5 Chr 2017 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
