The comments had nothing to do with American Indians or American Indian boarding schools. Someone from that site submitted comments here that were intended to draw readers to their site. I've deleted both of them.Debbie Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972409006633565859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27760240.post-33901817802418941622009-09-03T09:31:16.236-05:002009-09-03T09:31:16.236-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Kairahttp://www.myboardingschool.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27760240.post-12524836895891517872008-11-24T18:39:00.000-06:002008-11-24T18:39:00.000-06:00Good for Nothing by Michel Noel is also very good ...Good for Nothing by Michel Noel is also very good for teen readers. Noel is a Metis author from Quebec and the book is available in English and French. It's set after a young man (Nipishish) leaves residential school, but he continually references back to his experiences and their effect on his life and community.<BR/><BR/>It's set in Quebec Canada.<BR/><BR/>No Time to Say Goodbye by Sylvia Olsen with Rita Morris and Ann Sam is also awesome. It's set on the West coast of British Columbia - Kuper Island Residential school. <BR/><BR/>This is such a helpful site you've created.<BR/><BR/>BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27760240.post-31204588924075611582008-05-12T01:26:00.000-05:002008-05-12T01:26:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27760240.post-31701390328580416512008-02-11T20:38:00.000-06:002008-02-11T20:38:00.000-06:00The topic of boarding schools is very much alive i...The topic of boarding schools is very much alive in the discourse of social studies educators I have been listening to lately.
