With excellent writing, the author weaves her family's story with the history of colonization, genocide, and oppression of Native people. Boarding schools were one of many ways the government attempted to destroy Indigenous people. The legacy of this trauma is seen today in high rates of suicide, diabetes, mental illness, addiction. Yet there are hopeful signs of truth-telling, searches for cemeteries, and apologies. And there are people of resilience, who rise up, grow, and overcome.
