They Called Me Number One Secrets and Survival at an Indian Residential School【電子書籍】[ Bev Sellars ]

Item Number 1

<p>Like thousands of Aboriginal children in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere in the colonized world, Xatsu'll chief Bev Sellars spent part of her childhood as a student in a church-run residential school.</p> <p>These institutions endeavored to "civilize" Native children through Christian teachings; forced separation from family, language, and culture; and strict discipline. Perhaps the most symbolically potent strategy used to alienate residential school children was addressing them by assigned numbers only-not by the names with which they knew and understood themselves.</p> <p>In this frank and poignant memoir of her years at St. Joseph's Mission, Sellars breaks her silence about the residential school's lasting effects on her and her family-from substance abuse to suicide attempts-and eloquently articulates her own path to healing. <em>Number One</em> comes at a time of recognition-by governments and society at large-that only through knowing the truth about these past injustices can we begin to redress them.</p> <p><strong>Bev Sellars</strong> is chief of the Xatsu'll (Soda Creek) First Nation in Williams Lake, British Columbia. She holds a degree in history from the University of Victoria and a law degree from the University of British Columbia. She has served as an advisor to the British Columbia Treaty Commission.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
