Description
Just as many children in England were historically sent away from their families to attend boarding schools, Indigenous children in remote locations in Canada experienced a similar separation, often with more troubling consequences, with sometimes the loss of language, traditions, and connection to heritage.
Gentle stories exploring this complex history can serve as a valuable introduction to a topic that continues to resonate in current events and national conversations.
