Opis

A Box Full of Tears is wildly gripping and entertaining book It dares to take its readers by the eyes, into the tents and lodges of Canada's First People at the turn of the twentieth century. You will be delighted, shocked, and crushed by the powerful accounts of Canadian heroism on the battlefields of World War One. You will laugh and love and blush at the boldness of Giorgio as he learns to make love while struggling to stay alive in London and in France. Askuwheteau, the great mythical thunderbird will return to his home blinded by the tears of what he and you have witnessed through the eyes of a young Metis boy from Lac La Biche and Saddle Lake. This story will not soon be forgotten by those that seek to understand the consequences of our historical Residential School Policies, their impact on Aboriginal cultures and family structure, and the compelling necessity to move ahead with the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
