Used Book in Good Condition
Recommended reading for those who want to learn more about this horror in Manitoba history.
From my understanding because residential schools were starting to close they had to find another way to “remove the Indian from the child”.
If you’re looking for other good reading there’s a book https://www.amazon.ca/Night-Spirits-Story-Relocation-Sayisi/dp/0887556434 if you google it there’s a preview and stuff. I grew up in northern Canada in communities that are half/half. I thought that I had a pretty good grasp of what reserves were like and how history had went down until I read this book. It’s a series of firsthand stories from one of the aboriginal groups in Manitoba that was relocated from their original community where they had cabins and their seasonal route established, to Churchill. It’s very very sad and I found shocking. We had to read it in our Aboriginal history course for university. I would 10/10 recommend.
