Les mots qu'il me reste : Violette Pesheens, pensionnaire à l'école résidentielle

Slipperjack, Ruby 1952- (author.). Faubert, Martine, (translator.).

Summary: Violet Pesheens is struggling to adjust to her new life at Residential School. She misses her Grandma; she has run-ins with Cree girls; at her white school, everyone just stares; and everything she brought has been taken from her, including her name she is now just a number. But worst of all, she has a fear. A fear of forgetting the things she treasures most: her Anishnabe language; the names of those she knew before; and her traditional customs. A fear of forgetting who she was.
