A heartbreaking novel about the impacts of residential schools on five indigenous children
Five Little Indians is a heart-breaking novel by Cree writer Michelle Good, which explores how residential schools have affected lives in Canada. The book follows the lives of five indigenous children taken from their families and the physical and emotional impact of their experiences. It’s horrible to imagine that this could happen in Canada, but of course, it did, to hundreds of children. This book brought me to tears more than once. I recommend it to anyone interested in understanding how residential schools affected Canadian and Indigenous culture and society.
