Speaking Our Truth: A Journey of Reconciliation

$23.00

In stock (can be backordered)

This children’s book (for ages 9-12) offers a beautiful step towards reconciliation.

Canada’s relationship with Indigenous people has suffered as a result of both the residential school system and the lack of understanding of the historical and current impact of those schools.

Healing and repairing that relationship requires education, awareness and increased understanding of the legacy and the impacts still being felt by Survivors and their families.

Guided by acclaimed Indigenous author Monique Gray Smith, readers will learn about the lives of Survivors and listen to allies who are putting the findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission into action.

Hardcover. 160 pages.
