Shin-Chi’s Canoe by Nicola I. Campbell is the sequel to Shi-Shi-Etko. This story actually takes place In Residential school and shares some of the horrible hardships the children experience.
This book is a good way to keep the conversation about residential school going with your students.
Where to next?
Ask your students why they think we need to hear stories about residential schools. Have them record their ideas and create a video to share with other classes.
Invite your students to share with others why we honour residential school survivors on Orange Shirt Day and why we need to remember them and talk about their experiences throughout the whole year.
What does the mom mean when she says, “We would never, ever let you go, but it’s the laws that force us to send you away to residential school.”?
What do you think happened when parents tried to keep their children home? Do some research to find out.
After your research, discuss if laws have always been fair for everyone.
Share what your students come up with by using the hashtag #engageLK and #indigedLK
