Summary:
An autobiographical meditation on the complicated legacies that
Canada
's reservation school system has cast on his grandparents', his parents' and his own generation. Nishga is a personal and autobiographical book that attempts to address the complications of contemporary Indigenous existence. As a Nisga'a writer, Jordan Abel often finds himself in a position where he is asked to explain his relationship to Nisga'a language, Nisga'a community, and Nisga'a cultural knowledge. However, as an intergenerational survivor of residential school
--
both of his grandparents attended the same residential school in Chilliwack, British Columbia
--
his relationship to his own Indigenous identity is complicated to say the least. This book explores those complications and is invested in understanding how the colonial violence originating at the Coqualeetza Indian Residential School impacted his grandparents' generation, then his father's generation, and ultimately his own. The project is rooted in a desire to illuminate the realities of intergenerational survivors of residential school, but sheds light on Indigenous experiences that may not seem to be immediately (or inherently) Indigenous.
