Truth & Reconciliation Commission Report the full 3500 plus pages
From Truth Comes Reconciliation - Frontier Centre Dedicated to the thousands of people –both Indigenous and non-Indigenous — who were good and honourable servants to the children in Canada’s Indian residential school and hostels. This book is dedicated to all former IRS students, not only those for whom the residential school experience was demonstrably positive, but also to those who greatly suffered as a result of their experiences.
Grave Error How the media misled us (and the truth about residential schools)
Breaking Trail by Len Marchand "I was never abused, and I never heard of anyone else who was mistreated at the Kamloops school...they genuinely cared about us, and they all did their duty by us as they saw fit."
Chilcotin Wars Just before daybreak on April 30, 1864, a work party engaged in constructing a new road to the Cariboo goldfields was attacked without warning by a band of Chilcotin warriors. Wielding knives and axes, and firing muskets, they butchered the men while they slept. Only three escaped. Fully documented for the first time, this book relates the terrifying events of one of the bloodiest chapters in British Columbia's history.
The 1867 Project - Why Canada Should be Cherished - Not Cancelled
From assaults on historical figures such as Sir John A. MacDonald to cancel culture and charges that Canada once engaged in genocide, the country that every generation and every immigrant built now faces constant, corrosive attacks.
Laying the Children's Ghosts to Rest
Between 1869 and 1949 more than 100,000 children were rounded up from
the streets of Britain to be used as labourers in Canadian homes.
