@MissWhitteker1 Even though it was a very tough read, it's usually that way for a reason. I feel I have gained so much more insight into a subject i knew very little about.
Q7, Thank you Bob Joseph. You have deepened my thinking about how imperative it is to support the culture and historical past of the Indigenous peoples, to ensure the next generation are made aware and are provided with the appropriate education. #BECEUNB#shelfietalk
Q6, #5 - Ask your children’s teachers if they include curriculum related to residential schools and the Indian Act.

Q3, I have a deeper understanding of why there still is immense anger and hurt given how they were mistreated and tormented when their children were taken from them to live in the residential schools. #BECEUNB#Shelfietalk
Q2, I am still having a hard time understanding why the new settlers didn’t want to learn from the indigenous Peoples, instead of suppressing them and trying to rid the land of their history and existence. #BECEUNB#shelfietalk
Q1, A very eye opening, thought provoking and heartbreaking documentation of the harrowing way Indigenous Peoples were treated by the government. #BECEUNB#shelfietalk
As a person who chose Canada as my new home. I am deeply saddened by the contents of this book. We need to do better and learn from the mistakes that have gone before us! #BECEUNB#Shelfietalk
