This should be required reading for all Canadians. It shows how the residential school system has done lasting damage to First Nations people. And how some are working to heal those wounds. The story and the artwork work seamlessly together to tell a very powerful story that is more relevant than ever with the recent tragic news from Kamloops. Read this!
Graphic: Violence
