Title: In Their Own Words: Testimony from the Students of Canadas Indigenous Residential School Program
Author: Darren Grimes
Narrator: Graham Dunlop, Kyle Delisle, Marissa Leblanc
Format: Unabridged
Length: 06:38:02
Language: English
Release date: 04-17-23
Publisher: Findaway Voices
Genres: Non-Fiction, Social Science
Summary:
What is the cost of an education?
Is education an additive process or a reductive one?
How does one weigh the benefits of tradition against the threat of being at odds with the future?
How does one refuse the offer of a better life for their children?
What if the offer is compulsory?
What happens when the tree of knowledge bares rotten fruit?
While the history of Canada's Residential School program is only just beginning
to be unearthed, there are already enough first hand accounts to begin asking
some of these questions. The words of the individuals included in this book
offer just a glimpse of the results of the effort of one group of people to
educate people who were in many cases not seeking the knowledge being
offered. These are tales of lessons learned, languages lost, traditions
replaced, & charity corrupted.
