Learn About Residential Schools by Reading These Books

Learn about Residential Schools by Reading Books Written by Indigenous Authors 

Cree children's and YA author, David A Robertson, curated a list of 48 books to help us understand more about residential schools. 

"I think the answer starts with stories. Stories have been, and always will be, the best way to educate ourselves about the truth. You have to recognize that you have the power to be the authors of reconciliation if you read as much as you can, listen as much as you can, learn as much as you can, and then take meaningful, informed action."

Read the CBC article here for the full list of the books including author interviews when available. 

*We have many of these titles in our Learning Commons. Please let Mrs. Dickson know if you think any others should be added to our collection.*
