Tsqelmucwílc: The Kamloops Indian Residential School―Resistance and a Reckoning by Celia Haig-Brown
5.0
"I am non-Indigenous, I am a white woman. I think it's important that we know these stories, but I also think it's really important to hear what Indigenous people have to say themselves, and particularly at this time"
Tsqelmucwílc
The Kamloops Indian Residential School - Resistance and Reckoning
By Celia Haig-Brown
Gary Gottfriedson, Randy Fred, and The KIRS Survivors
QUICK RECAP 🖊️
Tsqelmucwílc (pronounced cha-CAL-mux-weel) a Secwépemc phase that translates loosely to “We return to being human.”
This is a story of those who survived the Kamloops Residential School, based on the original text by Celia Haig-Brown from 1988 titled “Resistance and Renewal” plus works from Gary Gottfriedson, Randy Fred and the KIRS Survivors.
This book includes the original, new material and so much more.
FINAL THOUGHTS 💭
Thank you @zgstories & @arsenalpulp for this copy of Tsqelmucwílc in exchange for my honest review.
This book came in swinging hard, what Celia Haig-Brown did with her original work and was amplified by Indigenous people from their stories of survival, resistance and reckoning. There are stories from survivors and stories from families members.
A couple times I found myself on the verge of tears for these children and what had had been subjected to. This book is highly recommended by me for those looking for more residential school education.
