Indian Boarding Schools, Fact & Fiction

It's great to see two talented authors of fiction touch on the important and painful topic of Indian boarding schools. It's also wonderful to have Celina Loyer, an Aboriginal Programmer from Alberta, join us to share her personal connection to Residential Schools. The stories of these Schools must be heard and remembered. Through Celina's work and the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, we can learn more about this dark chapter in Canadian history. Thank you to all three of you for your work to keep these stories alive

I'm so glad to see that this conversation includes two authors who are writing about the Indian boarding schools, as well as Celina Loyer, an Aboriginal Programmer who has personal knowledge of the Residential Schools in Canada. Her involvement in the Michel Band Exhibit and the Residential Schools display at the Musée Héritage Museum in St. Albert is incredibly important and helps to keep the stories of these schools alive. I'm sure their discussion will be incredibly informative and powerful.
