Description
Reconciliation & Canada's Indian Residential Schools in Context includes a selection of government documents, legal cases, and critical commentary related to the subject of the Indian Residential School System (IRSS). This comprehensive volume, while far from exhaustive, provides students and scholars of Canadian political and legal histories, Indigenous governance, Aboriginal healing, truth and reconciliation with a broad basis for understanding the impact of the IRSS on Survivors and their communities and the larger socio-political context for reconciliation among Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples in Canada.
