| Summary: | For nearly 100 years, Indian boarding schools in Canada and the United States produced newspapers read by white settlers, government officials and Indigenous parents.

This book traces colonial narratives of language, time and place from the nineteenth-century to the present day, post-Truth and Reconciliation Commission. |
