Student Narrative
1879-1996, the Canada Indian Residential school system prevailed in Canada, in order to integrate young aboriginals into the mainstream Canadian culture. Due to the substandard environment and abuses, however, many children suffered and died in the schools. Thus, this book is visually conveying the process and devastating consequences of the cultural assimilation.
