Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m recommending this. It‘s heartbreaking but its a true account of what it was like being taken from your home, your people, your culture in an effort to assimilate you into a society. Cardinal‘s life with her sister brough up away from her Native language and family had life long consequences and she bravely discusses them in this book.

Started this today and already I‘m in my emotions. This is going to be very raw! Colleen and her sisters were taken from their homes and put in the families of non-Native white people and the effects of that are felt throughout her and her sister‘s life. So much history in this already.
