An incredibly strong book. All the stories of survivors are shocking and very strong. It is not overly surprising, that things like this existed, however the scale is sick. What this book does incredibly well is that it tries to show a wider context of all the problem of boarding schools in Canada's interior. Shows the vicious cycle where people who went through the hell of those schools and live the same way after leaving it. You do what was done to you. The violence repeats. The real culprits, the system, and the institutions behind it, are not seeing the harm done. Besides, to some limited extent, Canada. This whole situation just makes me fear, that there are very few countries like Canada, and there were much more examples of such behaviours and systems. And they will never say ‘we are guilty' or ‘we did wrong'. Facing and revising the black cards of history of your own nation is incredibly difficult and painful, and for most this is too much. After all, we all want to be the good guys. Just not everyone understands, that being good is also to repent for the wrongdoings of previous generations.
