21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act: Helping Canadians Make Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples a Reality by Bob Joseph

emotional informative sad medium-paced

5.0

I have been doing a lot of learning about Canada's history with our genocide of indigenous population, but I haven't yet read through the full truth and reconciliation report. But, this title was excellent to help me better understand the atrocities the Canadian Government sanctioned against people who have the rightful claim to so much of our nation.

I was in grade 10 when the last residential school was shut down. This history, isn't that long ago, and I will continue to work to educate myself on the past, and what I can actively do moving forward, to commit to my own efforts towards truth and reconciliation.
