Description

Winner of the Norma Fleck Award for Canadian Children’s Non-Fiction.

While searching for medicine plants in the bush with Kokom, he encounters a giant grizzly bear. Gently but truthfully written, the book captivates its readers and reveals a hidden history. In the 1800s, the education of First Nations children was taken on by various churches, in government-sponsored residential schools.

The children are told by their mother that the parents would be put in jail if they did not send their children to residential schools. This may have been what the parents believed, but whether this really happened has been debated.
