These are my words : the Residential School diary of Violet Pesheens / by Ruby Slipperjack. by Slipperjack, Ruby, 1952- Scholastic Canada, c2016. Call #: FICTION DEA Subjects First Nations -- Residential schools -- Juvenile fiction.   Off-reservation boarding schools -- Canada -- Juvenile fiction.   Ojibwa Indians -- Juvenile fiction. Series Dear Canada. ISBN:  9781443133180 (hc.) Alternate title:  Residential School diary of Violet Pesheens Description:  186 p. : ill., map ; 20 cm. Notes:  "Northern Ontario, 1966"--Cover. Includes historical notes. Summary:  "Violet Pesheens is struggling to adjust to her new life at residential school. She misses her Grandma; she has run-ins with Cree girls; at her "white" school, everyone just stares; and everything she brought has been taken from her, including her name-she is now just a number. But worst of all, she has a fear. A fear of forgetting the things she treasures most: her Anishnabe language; the names of those she knew before; and her traditional customs. A fear of forgetting who she was. Her notebook is the one place she can record all of her worries, and heartbreaks, and memories. And maybe, just maybe there will be hope at the end of the tunnel. Drawing from her own experiences at residential school, Ruby Slipperjack creates a brave, yet heartbreaking heroine in Violet, and lets young readers glimpse into an all-too important chapter in our nation's history."--From publisher.
