La saga de Murdo MacLeod : Et son premier contact avec les Abénakis = the Saga of Murdo MacLeod : And his First Contact with the Abenaki
No full text"Expelled from their land on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland, Murdo MacLeod and his clan are given passage as ballast on a timber ship bound for Lower Canada. It is the late 1830s. Those who survive the voyage arrive in Quebec City with nothing more than axes in hand and speaking only Gaelic amongst the French and English population. Travelling on foot, they make their way to the region near Sherbrooke, ending up on Abenaki territory near Gould. There, with winter fast approaching, they find their only hope for survival in the hands of Canada’s first people. Written and narrated by Burns, a celebrated Montreal storyteller, The Saga of Murdo Macleod reveals the history of millions of Canadians whose ancestors found freedom and opportunity only through great sacrifice and the compassion of unlikely allies." -- Film's official website
G. Scott MacLeod : Sacred Feminine and Masculine
No full text"Scott MacLeod’s The Sacred Feminine and Masculine: Labyrinthina exhibition deals with the sacred and spiritual. While the sources may be ancient, as is the dual yin-yang nature of masculine and feminine MacLeod captures, the exhibition functions as a total environment. Multi-media effects include video projection, and digitally manipulated photographs of men and women reflect the stages of life from birth to old age. MacLeod reinvigorates our interest in the symbolic sources for our own culture, long buried for many. Inadvertently we are reminded of how our culture has lost its sources, may not understand the sacred signs and symbols. As the paintings, photo-works, and videos in this show suggest, our belief systems are rooted in the world around us the cosmos and nature." -- p. [3]

The Sacred Feminine and Masculine : G. Scott MacLeod
No full text"The 'Sacred Feminine and Masculine' - has built upon previous methods and techniques while pursuing a new direction. With the help of Jessica Charbonneau's Photoshop skills, I have created 14 large (183 x 61 cm) mixed media photo-transfers on canvas that are mounted on stretchers. Half of the photographs are of the seven stages of feminine : birth, innocence, teen, maidenhood, motherhood, grandmother, and ekder. The seven other correspond to the stages of masculine." -- p. 7
Dans l'Griff : Un documentaire sur la vie de la famille Mercier = In Griffintown : A Life History Documentary on the Mercier Family
No full text« À mesure que le paysage urbain de certains vieux quartiers industriels de Montréal disparaît, la modernisation urbaine, elle, est imminente. Dans le Griffintown, juste au sud du centre-ville, le processus est d'ores et déjà bien entamé. Étant donné le peu de vestiges municipaux, résidentiels et industriels, la florissante communauté ouvrière irlandaise-canadienne française jadis prédominante, a presque totalement disparu. Mais les communautés s'accrochent à leurs souvenirs. Pour Claude et Lise Mercier, un couple de retraités, et leur fils Stefan, tous trois nés et élevés dans le quartier, le paysage pittoresque du Griffintown est encore bien vivant. Avec pour référence les photos de la famille Mercier, l'authenticité de leurs souvenirs et de leurs témoignages, G. Scott MacLeod, grâce à son astucieux travail d'animations au crayon, ouvre une fenêtre sur cette communauté autrefois prospère, et nous livre le portrait émouvant d'une vie 'dans l'Griff'. » -- Site officiel du film
Disrupting Understandings of Disruptive Behaviour
No full textThis DataShare item relates to a qualitative study funded by the Spencer Foundation, titled ‘Disrupting Understandings of Disruptive Behaviour’. The study sought to investigate the school experiences of pupils who had been receiving support at school before COVID-19 to help them manage their behaviour in school.
The aim was to investigate whether, as the literature below would predict, some aspects of education under lockdown were experienced positively by pupils with a history of disruptive behaviour (PHDB), and to work with families and schools in Scotland to identify ways in which these positive aspects may be replicated in the post COVID classroom
L'Abenaki : Peuple de l'aube = The Abenaki : People of the Dawn
No full text"Identity is often revealed in the most perilous situations. In The Abenaki – People of the Dawn, the first film in G. Scott MacLeod’s animated Canadian history series, it is Joe Obomsawin’s intimate knowledge of the back roads and hidden trails on the frontiers of Quebec and New England that narrowly saves a group of bootleggers from capture. The escape also provides the impetus for his character’s powerful and deeply personal retelling of the history of his people. Huddled around a fire in a remote cabin, Obomsawin unfolds the tragic, improbable and inspiring story of the Abenaki nation, reduced from 50,000 to some 1,500 over a few hundred years of colonial settlement. A collaboration between MacLeod and storyteller Mike Burns, from a story in Burns’ series The Water of Life, The Abenaki - People of the Dawn fuses traditional pencil animation with new digital media to tell the harrowing tale of a people’s epic struggle for survival." -- Film's official website
The Lachine Canal : Past and Present : Paintings and Drawings by G. Scott MacLeod
No full text" For Lachine Canal : Past and Present, I studied Yvon Desloges and Alain Gelly’s book The Lachine Canal, Riding the Waves of Industrial and Urban Development 1860-1950 to get a better understanding of the people who settled in the Lachine Canal region, the technology they used, and the goods they manufactured. I created this exhibition to compare how the canal looked in the mid to late 1800s to how it appears today. For me, the value of studying history is the insight we gain into human nature and our past. In reflection we can learn how we may improve upon the way we do things in the future.[...] What I have tried to represent in The Lachine Canal: Past and Present is a comparative study of the canal’s past and present, focussing not simply on the canal and the surrounding architecture but on the memory and history of the people and companies who built the neighbourhoods that we know today as Lachine, LaSalle, Verdun, St- Henri, Côte Saint Paul, Griffintown, Little Burgundy, Point St-Charles, and the port of Old Montreal." -- p.
