dual language edition. The dual language edition in Nishnaabemwin
(Ojibwe) Nbisiing dialect and English of the... book, I Am Not a
Number. When eight-year-old Irene is removed from her First Nations
family to live in a residential school she is confused, frightened,
and terribly homesick. She tries to remember who she is and where she
came from, despite the efforts of the nuns who are in charge at the
school and who tell her that she is not to use her own name but
instead use the number they have assigned to her. When she goes home
for summer holidays, Irene's parents decide never to send her and her
brothers away again. But where will they hide? And what will happen
when her parents disobey the law? Based on the life of co-author Jenny
Kay Dupuis' grandmother, Gaawin Niin Ndoo-Gindaaswisii / I Am Not a
Number is a ... book that brings a terrible part of Canada's history
to light in a way that children can learn from and relate to." —
