I cannot help but give this textbook 5 stars - maybe it's bias because William Newbigging was my professor last term, however I really enjoyed learning something NEW TO ME. As a white woman, who grew up in white-dominated cities, I knew nothing about the Indigenous going into this course.
I ended up writing a massive essay on the Toxicity and Trauma of Residential Schools - so much of my information came from this very textbook.
Thank you Professor for the amazing semester!

Read what I had to for class! I could see myself reading chapter 15 onwards eventually, but for now I would like to focus on other books
