This was exceptionally eye opening and moving; it struck my heart and dealt with a lot – abuse, death, growing up, learning, etc. Seepeetza as a child, diarist, and indigenous young girl was incredibly written with a strong emotive voice which is partly due to Sherling autobiographical intent. Simply put: this was an amazing touching book about Indigenous identity and the hardships of residential schools… It shows that Canada needs to do better – there’s always room for improvement – and equality is needed, this land was built on assimilation and inequality and we really need to recognize that as a progressive society!
“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.”
“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
