Residential School Recovery Stories of the James Bay Cree, Volume 1
“These previously unwritten stories of lived, traumatized experiences are
testament to the storytellers’ courage and strength and resilience. When the rich
Cree traditional and spiritual relationship with land and with family is harmed by
separation, hatred, and fear - a harm resulting in anger and loss of values, identity,
and self-worth - these storytellers find ways to heal. Through their stories, you learn
about culture as treatment, about the power of forgiveness and love, and about
peaceful co-existence in community as essential to healing, belief, and advancing
true reconciliation.”
