Summary

This book is about the personal healing journeys of former students of the Kamloops Indians Residential School (KIRS). They agreed to share their stories in the form of a book so their families and communities could learn and understand what happened behind the closed doors of KIRS, and so all Canadians could know the truth about residential schools so that history is never repeated. This book was developed by the Secwepemc Cultural Education Society, under the direction of an advisory group made up of residential school survivors, health care professionals, and community members. The project was funded by the Aboriginal Healing Foundation which was formed by the Government of Canada to address the healing needs arising from the legacy of sexual and physical abuse at residential schools.
