Join Crystal Gail Fraser for the Canmore book launch of BY STRENGTH, WE ARE STILL HERE at artsPlace with special guest Sharon Anne Firth! Winner of the Best First Book Award from the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association, the Canadian Historical Association's Best Scholarly Book in Canadian History Prize, and the Canadian Historical Association's CLIO North History Prize, BY STRENGTH, WE ARE STILL HERE illuminates student experiences in northern residential schools, revealing the many ways Indigenous communities resisted the institutionalization of their children. Led by Survivor testimony, Fraser shows the roles both students and their families played in disrupting state agendas, including questioning and changing the system to protect their cultures and communities.
This event will feature presentations by Crystal and Sharon and an opportunity for audience questions. Light refreshments will be served and books will be available for sale.
