Dual Hamilton Book Launch for Daniel Coleman & John Terpstra
Daniel Coleman - Grandfather of the Treaties
When Daniel Coleman went into his office in McMaster University on a beautiful April morning in 2006 he was startled to see over thirty police vehicles parked on campus, and soon discovered that the campus was providing lodging for the officers who had raided the site of an Indigenous land dispute near the town of Caledonia. This discovery changed how Coleman thought about Indigenous issues, which he’d long supported, bringing home that there is no part of life in Canada where you are outside of the broken relationship between the nation of Canada and the Indigenous nations who have lived here since time immemorial. This began Coleman’s journey, working closely with Indigenous scholars, to understand more fully that relationship and to find a way to repair not only it, but our relationship with the land we call home. In Grandfather of the Treaties Coleman introduces the founding wampum covenants that the earliest European settlers made with the Haudenosaunee nation and shows how returning to these covenants, and the ways they were made, could heal our society.
John Terpstra - A Carpentry of Words and Wood
"I have to put out of my mind what is happening to the trees of the forest in order to do what I do", writes John Terpstra at the opening of this memoir, because his lifelong creative pursuits of carpentry, furniture building and writing books—occupations consumptive of lumber and paper—necessitate a certain amount of sylvan destruction. With his episodic prose style and dogged curiosity, Terpstra considers the many facets of his complex relationship with trees and timber, all while recounting the story of his evolution as a craftsperson. In weighing the similarities and differences between carpentry and creative writing and the bittersweetness of his transition into retirement, Terpstra discovers that the trees have a canopy of lessons to teach us about being.
