Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese
4.0

From, "Indian Horse," I learned that residential schools were not schools, they were workhouses for children where they were treated like inmates, and when they were used up in every sense of the word, they were buried in unmarked graves. I was struck by this realization because for as long as I have known about this matter, I had always thought that Aboriginal children were being forcibly assimilated through education and not through 'slavery.'
