What the Ancestors Say

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The stories in What the Ancestors Say must be told so that we can all heal together. My mom was a boarding school survivor. The stories she told me about her experience were like a horror show. I, too, had my own horror stories, which were side effects of the boarding school system. Growing up on the reservation was awesome, but the school experience was terrible. Government teachers would be contracted in from other parts of the country. We would be hit by these government workers, and our parents couldn't do anything because they feared the government would take their kids away. This book contains so many stories that need to be told. Thanks to Sierra Biidaaban Nadeau for writing this amazing book, which will help so many people to begin their healing journey.”
