Dear Canada: These Are My Words: The Residential School Diary of Violet Pesheens by Ruby Slipperjack

4.0

Obviously this is a book meant for kids, but I read it anyway to learn more about residential schools. It's hard to imagine that at the time this was set, my mom would have been 6. This "dark chapter" is certainly not very long ago, and Slipperjack's book helps explain how it still affects Indigenous people today.
