In Canada, almost the entire Native population over age 45 was subjected to residential boarding schools. In the United States, tens of thousands of Native children were subjected to residential schools as well. The purpose of the residential schools was simple...total assimilation of Native Americans into white culture, at the deliberate cost of their Indianness...“Kill the Indian, save the man.” With the assimilation process came rampant physical and sexual abuse, loss of language and culture, and in some cases even death. The effect was profound. And even though boarding schools ended in Canada in 1984, the effects are far from over. After a people has gone through 5 or 6 generations of boarding schools, things can never be the same.

Dwayne Thomas and Gordon Buck know first-hand about the abuses of the residential schools. But they have also discovered the secret to healing and freedom—Jesus Christ. This ten-week course was designed to promote discussion, healing and understanding within the format of a small group. From discussing the abuses of the residential schools in a safe environment, to examining the important and affirming truths of Scripture, this interactive guide plots a course to true forgiveness, freedom and healing. Includes weekly course suggestions for the course guide, testimonies, interactive questions and space for journaling in each chapter. 40pgs. $10.00
