The Indian residential schools of Canada had lasting effects on Indigenous communities. In their novels Kiss of the Fur Queen and Indian Horse, Nehiyaw/Cree artist Tomson Highway and Anishinaabe writer Richard Wagamese endeavour to tell their own version of this period of Canadian history which had long been silenced. This book examines the narrative strategies at work to offer a valuable contribution to the historiography of these policies aimed at "dis-indigenizing" Aboriginal children and at making the Indigenous peoples of Canada invisible. It also focuses on writing as a space allowing the resurgence of the cultures proscribed in the aftermath of colonization and, ultimately, on writing as an antidote to the harmful consequences of the Indian residential school system.
