In this quietly powerful and deeply human book, 21 James Bay Cree storytellers recount their experiences in Canada’s residential school system. The accounts take place in residential schools, in homes after children were taken, and on Cree territory after survivors returned, working to heal from their experiences and to live with dignity. They reveal the astonishing courage and strength of children. A tough, often funny, and uplifting book that’s not quite like anything else out there.
