Shattering the Silence

Abstract

The ebook Shattering the Silence: The Hidden History of Indian Residential Schools in Saskatchewan is intended to support teachers as they prepare to teach about the legacy of Indian residential schools in Saskatchewan. The resource is accompanied by a website with supplementary resources. Each section of the e-book contains Saskatchewan Curricular connections. The book profiles each of the Saskatchewan-located residential schools, drawing on historical documents, archived and current news reports, local history books, and the reports that came out of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. As stated by the Canada School Libraries, "It contains a wealth of resources for adults, youth, children and students, links to professional development, curricular connections and inquiry starters. Although focused on Saskatchewan, resources and understandings presented are universal.”
