Summary

"Say My Name is a fictional account of the life of a young Cowichan man who took his own life. There are too many like him, who die of invisibility, the plague that came in the same blankets as smallpox. Linda Rogers determined to grieve her friend in the name of all who have died because their identity has been taken away by contact with European culture, Indian reserves and residential schools. Say My Name, written in the voice of Charlie Louie, is the naming of him. It records the terrible sadnesses but also the great tenacity of a people who will be seen and heard and the sense of irony that helps them deal with an unsympathetic culture. Say My Name is funny and sad, a story offered with tenderness and affection by the mother who lost Charlie and found him again, in his own words"--Publisher's description.
