This is a history lesson, most people in the North American continent need. This is based on the true story of the author’s grandmother, who unfortunately had to live through the residential schools in Canada. The story is told of her being cold and hungry and abused, and how these little girls were ingenious and sewed secret pockets and stole away in the middle of the night to the kitchen to steal food to feed themselves and their friends, because the priests and nuns were not sharing. This is a part of American and Canadian history that has not been taught and it has only been with the recent findings of mass graves that the schools have hit the news and people have started to learn what happened. It’s stories like this that tell why these events are important, not just now, but into our future as we watch our modern society once again, trying to “other” different groups of people into nothingness.
