"A true and personal story of Canada's residential school past -
in a 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
Canadas history to light in a way that children can learn from and
relate to." -Second Story Press website.
