Children of the Broken Treaty: Canada's Lost Promise and One Girl's Dream

2017 | Education

In this new edition of Charlie Angus's award-winning and bestselling book, he brings us up-to-date on the unrelenting epidemic of youth suicides in Indigenous communities, the Thunder Bay inquiry into the shocking deaths of young people there, the powerful impact of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's final report, and how the Trudeau government's commitment to Indigenous communities continues to be stymied by decades-old policy roadblocks. On the heels of Idle No More and the TRC, Angus says that the push for equity in education, health, and infrastructure will continue to be led by a mobilized Indigenous grassroots that cannot be ignored. "Incredibly important...makes your blood boil." - Christine Smith (MacFarlane), Rabble.ca "The care and professionalism shown by Angus makes this more than just a book with a worthy subject that should be read by as many people as possible...it's a legitimate must-read."
