| | Synopsis
|
Canada's residential school system for aboriginal young people is
now recognized as a grievous historic wrong committed against First
Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples. Through historical photographs,
documents, and first-person narratives from people who survived
residential schools, this book offers an account of the injustice of
this period in Canadian history. It documents how this official
racism was confronted and finally acknowledged.
