Learning resources: Canada's residential school | First Peoples@Seneca | Seneca Polytechnic

As the discoveries of the mass graves at residential schools across Canada continue, we strongly encourage the Seneca community to learn more about the nearly 130 years that these institutions were in operation. As part of our commitment to equity, we have provided five resources that you can start with today:

Books:  

• Five Little Indians by Michelle Good
• Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese

Children’s books:

• When We Were Alone by David Robertson
• Shi-shi-etko by Nicola Campbell

Movies:

• We Can't Make the Same Mistake Twice by Alanis Obomsawin
• We Were Children by Tim Wolochatiuk

If you’re looking for a way to give back, consider donating to the Seneca Community Indigenous Award.
