We're taking a different approach to this month's episode and releasing it a day early to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. We've informally curated a list of books that focus on the residential school experience and the resilience of survivors. We encourage listeners to seek out novels, memoirs, poetry, plays, and more beyond what we've discussed in this episode, and to support survivors however possible. Miigwech/thanks for listening.

Some of the books and works discussed in Season 2 Episode 10:

Burning in this Midnight Dream by Louise Bernice Halfe
Five Little Indians by Michelle Good
Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese
The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline
I Lost My Talk by Rita Joe
They Called Me Number One by Bev Sellars
