Over years of teaching, it became increasingly apparent to the editors of this book that students in their Native Studies classes were dissatisfied with many of the texts they were assigned, which were usually anthropological in nature. Their response was to propose a new text that would provide an overview of the thought-worlds of Aboriginal cultures from the inside.
Bringing together the voices of sixteen Elders and traditional teachers from across Canada, this collection allows readers to compare the vision and experience of a generation of Aboriginal people. Today, Elders are the historians of the Aboriginal past and the keepers of cultural events and ceremonies. They are teachers, healers, and experts in survival, sharing a world-view based on the knowledge that all things in life are related and are governed by natural laws. Those represented here include men and women from a variety of traditions and geographical locations.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. More than the first impression, form is a component on the road to a final solution and a very important part of it: you can't divide it from function, you can't divide it from other aspects of design and in the end a suppression of form is even necessary.' -Jasper Morrison In the early 1980s, Jasper Morrison anticipated what was to be the ethical position of the designer in a period of crisis, emerging as one of the instigators of the neo-minimalist movement of the 1990s. Concerned with questions of plasticity and efficacy, he eliminates decorative effects in favour of functionalism. Morrison is a leading designer best known for his advocacy of the new simplicity and is the most uncompromising designer of purism. His work is characterized by a precision of essential form. In the early 1980s, Jasper Morrison anticipated what was to be the ethical position of the designer in a period of crisis, emerging as one of the instigators of the neo-minimalist movement of the 1990s. Concerned at once with questions of plasticity and efficacy, his work's development obeys an implacable logic of eliminating decorative effects in favor of functionalism. "From door handles to doors, bottles of beer to bus stops, no aspect of daily life is unworthy of consideration as a design problem", states Morrison.
