Truth and Reconciliation: A Reading List for Adults

From 1831 to 1996, 150,000 First Nations, Metis and Inuit children were forced to attend Residential Schools in Canada. This selection of titles documents that history, and sheds light on the repercussions of that system that still affects Indigenous people today. We acknowledge that this list is a work-in-progress.
