This courageous and intimate memoir is the story of a child who faced the dark heart of humanity, let loose by the cruel policies of a bigoted nation. As Augie recounts, these schools did more than attempt to mould children in the ways of white society. They were taught to be ashamed of their heritage and, as he experienced, often suffered physical and sexual abuse. This resource discusses topics such as homelessness, residential schools, racism, faith, and traditional ways.--Ministry of Education website.
