The education of Augie Merasty : a residential school memoir / Joseph Auguste Merasty with David Carpenter.

Merasty, Joseph Auguste, (author.). Carpenter, David author. (Added Author).

Summary:

Now a retired fisherman and trapper, Joseph A. (Augie) Merasty was one of an estimated 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Metis children who were taken from their families and sent to government-funded, church-run schools, where they were subjected to a policy of "aggressive assimilation." As Merasty recounts, these schools did more than attempt to mold children in the ways of white society. They were taught to be ashamed of their native heritage and, as he experienced, often suffered physical and sexual abuse.
