An unsettling study of two tragic events at an Indian residential school in British Columbia which serve as a microcosm of the profound impact the residential school system had on Aboriginal communities in Canada throughout this century. The book's focal points are the death of a runaway boy and the suicide of another while they were students at the Williams Lake Indian Residential School during the early part of this century. Imbedded in these stories is the complex relationship between the Department of Indian Affairs, the Oblates, and the Aboriginal communities that in turn has influenced relations between government, church, and Aboriginals today.

Hey! Thanks for thinking of donating to our project!
The thing is, there's probably many other people and projects that could use your money, and are likely doing more important work. So i'd really encourage you to check them out (and feel free to ask me for ideas if you can't think of any). But if you do have some leftover money which you want to send my way, i certainly won't object --
Your donation will help to sustain the Kersplebedeb Publishing project to continue as most of our sales possibilities -- bookfairs, tabling, etc. -- have disappeared. It will allow us to continue putting out new books, to maintain our online presence, and hopefully to provide stipends to specific comrades and campaigns we work with.
