Truth and Reconciliation resource

Hi everyone. I just saw this notice on one of my favorite blogs, Twinkle's Happy Place (a great place to find Indigenous education resources: http://twinkleshappyplace.blogspot.ca/). 

  

Speaking My Truth: Reflections on Reconciliation & Residential School was funded by the Aboriginal Healing Foundation and includes a variety of stories and essays including works from Richard Wagamese and Drew Hayden Taylor, as well as questions for further discussion. You can order it for free or read and download online: http://speakingmytruth.ca/  

Drawing from the Aboriginal Healing Foundation’s three-volume series Truth and Reconciliation—which comprises the titles From Truth to Reconciliation; Response, Responsibility, and Renewal; and Cultivating Canada—acclaimed veteran broadcast-journalist and host of The Next Chapter on CBC Radio Shelagh Rogers joins series editors Mike DeGagné and Jonathan Dewar to present these selected reflections, in reader format, on the lived and living experiences and legacies of Residential Schools and, more broadly, reconciliation in Canada.
