Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese

5.0

This book broke my heart but I am so so thankful for its existence. It is beautifully written and sincerely delivered and it will open your eyes up to what residential schools were like and the consequences of these schools. While I knew conceptually that it was only very recently that these schools were closed it wasn't until reading Indian Horse that it really hit me how recent these events took place. This is a hard hitting book but it absolutely needs to be read. It will stick with you for the rest of your life.
