Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
Personal
memories
of people, routines, rules and education at an Indian
residential
school
are outlined. It is a very different picture when compared with
home
life and family visits. The Government of Canada intended to separate children from parents, traditions, language and spiritual beliefs, but these were the very things that saved and nurtured Nk'xetko, Mary Jane Joe. "By describing my twelve years of suffering at the
school
, year by year and grade by grade
I
realized that the strengths that held me together and gave me the courage to survive and finish
school
were the teachings of my parents and grandmother.
I
never said thank you to them. They have passed away but their love and resilience live on. This book is a belated kwuks chemxw, thank you my dear family."
