Description

For nearly 100 years, Indian boarding schools in Canada and the US produced newspapers read by white settlers, government officials, and Indigenous parents.

These newspapers were used as a settler colonial tool, yet within these tightly controlled narratives there also existed sites of resistance.

This book traces colonial narratives of language, time, and place from the nineteenth-century to the present day, post-Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
