The records on our site emerge from the cultural and physical genocide that the Canadian government and churches conducted through the Indian Residential School System, including the ongoing impacts.

Description
"Toronto at Dreamer's Rock ... [portrays] a teenage boy who is torn between the traditions of his people, which he only vaguely understands, and the lure of modern life. His magical encounters with two members of his tribe - one 400 years in the past and one from the future - make him aware of how little he has thought about what it means to be an Indian. Education Is Our Right borrows from the familiar story of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, but in his version the Spirits of Education Past, Present, and Future attempt to show the Minister of Indian Affairs the error of his ways"--back cover.
