1. Child Of Her People
"Child of Her People" is a poignant narrative that delves into the life of a young Indigenous girl who is taken from her family and community under the guise of education and assimilation. The story unfolds in Canada during a time when Indigenous children were forcibly placed in residential schools, a practice rooted in colonial policies aimed at eradicating Indigenous cultures and languages. The novel explores the girl's struggle to maintain her identity and the deep sense of loss and resilience that comes with being torn from one's heritage. Through her journey, the book sheds light on the broader impact of cultural genocide on Indigenous communities, while also celebrating the strength and survival of Indigenous peoples and their traditions.
