Medicine River by Mary Annette Pember
Medicine River is a personal and journalistic examination of the U.S. Native American boarding school system and its long-term effects. Ojibwe journalist Mary Annette Pember centers her mother’s experience in a boarding school and combines interviews and historical reporting to show how these institutions attempted to erase Native culture, the harm done to families across generations, and the persistence of community resilience and cultural survival.
