A Knock on the Door - The Essential History of Residential Schools from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, Edited and Abridged

It can start with a knock on the door one morning. It is the local Indian agent, or the parish priest, or, perhaps, a Mounted Police officer. So began the school experience of many Indigenous children in Canada for more than a hundred years, and so begins the history of residential schools prepared by the Truth & Reconciliation Commission of Canada.
