Books can be a tool in discussions about reconciliation. The books featured here share the stories of many children who experienced these institutions, all available in our library. The Reason You Walk by Wab Kinew, Wenjack by Joseph Boyden, Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese, Up Ghost River by Edmund Metatawabin, Broken Circle: The Dark Legacy of Indian Residential Schools: A Memoir by Theodore Fontaine, Fatty Legs by Christy Jordan-Fenton & Margaret Pokiak-Fenton, When We Were Alone by David Alexander Robertson, and more found on our shelves.
