Description:

Summary:
'The
story
of the Mi’kmaw people is one that very few truly know, Ladybug. Even fewer understand what happened at the
residential
schools. It is a hard
story
to tell, but you must know the truth. Sit and I will tell you the
story
.' When seven-year-old Muinji’j comes home from
school
one day, her Nana and Papa can tell right away that she’s upset. Her teacher has been speaking about the
residential
schools. Unlike most of her fellow students, Muinji’j has always known about the
residential
schools. But what she doesn’t understand is
why
the schools existed and
why
children would have died there. Nana and Papa take Muinji’j aside and tell her the whole
story
, from the beginning. They help her understand all of the decisions that were made for the Mi’kmaq, not with the Mi’kmaq, and how those decisions hurt her people. They tell her the
story
of her people before their traditional ways were made illegal, before they were separated and sent to reservations, before their words, their beliefs, and eventually, their children, were taken from them. A poignant, honest, and necessary book featuring brilliant artwork from Mi’kmaw artist Zeta Paul and words inspired by Muinji’j MacEachern’s true
story
, Muinji’j
Asks
Why
will inspire conversation, understanding, and allyship for readers of all ages.
