"Since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its Calls to Action in June 2015, governments, churches, non-profit, professional and community organizations, corporations, schools and universities, clubs and individuals have asked: "How can I/we participate in reconciliation?" Recognizing that reconciliation is not only an ultimate goal, but a decolonizing process of journeying in ways that embody everyday acts of resistance, resurgence, and solidarity, coupled with renewed commitments to justice, dialogue, and relationship-building, Pathways of Reconciliation helps readers find their way forward. The essays in Pathways of Reconciliation address the themes of reframing, learning and healing, researching, and living. They engage with different approaches to reconciliation (within a variety of reconciliation frameworks, either explicit or implicit) and illustrate the complexities of the reconciliation process itself. They canvass multiple and varied pathways of reconciliation, from Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives, reflecting a diversity of approaches to the mandate given to all Canadians by the TRC with its Calls to Action. Together the authors -- academics, practitioners, students and ordinary citizens -- demonstrate the importance of trying and learning from new and creative approaches to thinking about and practicing reconciliation and reflect on what they have learned from their attempts (both successful and less successful) in the process."--

Entre 1867 et 2000, le gouvernement canadien a placé plus de 150 000 enfants autochtones dans des pensionnats d’un bout à l’autre du pays. Les autorités gouvernementales et les missionnaires étaient d’avis qu’afin de « civiliser et de christianiser » les enfants autochtones, il fallait les éloigner de leurs parents et de leur communauté d’origine respective. La vie de ces enfants au pensionnat était empreinte de solitude et d’exclusion. La discipline y était stricte et le déroulement du "idien, lui, fortement régenté. Les langues et les cultures autochtones étaient dénigrées et réprimées. L’éducation et la formation technique prenaient trop souvent la forme de corvées et de tâches ménagères assurant l’autonomie des pensionnats. La négligence à l’égard des enfants fut institutionnalisée et le manque de supervision donna lieu à des situations où les élèves furent victimes de sévices physiques et sexuels. Une poursuite judiciaire déposée par les anciens pensionnaires a mené, en 2008, à la mise sur pied de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation du Canada. Étant l’aboutissement de plus de six ans de recherche, le rapport final de la Commission présente l’histoire des pensionnats ainsi que leur héritage, et trace la voie de la réconciliation. Honorer la vérité, réconcilier pour l’avenir résume les six volumes constituant le rapport final de la Commission. Il assimile les pensionnats à l’instrument d’un génocide culturel et indique, par le fait même, que ces pensionnats s’inscrivaient dans le cadre plus large de la politique colonialiste du gouvernement canadien à l’égard des peuples autochtones. Le rapport établit de quelle façon le sous-financement chronique a mené à des conditions de vie malsaines et à des taux de mortalité bien plus élevés que ceux caractérisant le reste de la population canadienne d’âge scolaire. De plus, il indique clairement que le gouvernement avait été avisé des conséquences de ses politiques et que d’autres options lui avaient été proposées, options qu’il a choisi d’ignorer et qui auraient pourtant réduit le taux de mortalité au sein des pensionnats. Les perturbations que ces pensionnats ont causées aux élèves autochtones, à leur famille et aux collectivités sont encore palpables à ce jour. Elles se mesurent par la perte des langues et des liens familiaux dans les communautés autochtones, ainsi que par les écarts qui continuent de séparer les Autochtones et les non-Autochtones du Canada sur les plans de la santé, de l’éducation et de l’emploi. La réconciliation permettra de reconnaître que les pensionnats faisaient partie d’un ensemble plus large de politiques visant à priver les Autochtones de leurs terres, de leur culture, de leur vie spirituelle et de leurs propres gouvernements. Les quatre-vingt-quatorze appels à l’action de la Commission établissent des mesures concrètes à appliquer pour réparer la relation tourmentée qui unit les peuples autochtones à la Couronne, et pour établir des rapports harmonieux entre Autochtones et non-Autochtones.

Changed Forever is the first study to gather a range of texts produced by Native Americans who, voluntarily or through compulsion, attended government-run boarding schools in the last decades of the nineteenth and the first decades of the twentieth centuries. Arnold Krupat examines Hopi, Navajo, and Apache boarding-school narratives that detail these students' experiences. The book's analyses are attentive to the topics (topoi) and places (loci) of the boarding schools. Some of these topics are: (re-)Naming students, imposing on them the regimentation of Clock Time, compulsory religious instruction and practice, and corporal punishment, among others. These topics occur in a variety of places, like the Dormitory, the Dining Room, the Chapel, and the Classroom. Krupat's close readings of these narratives provide cultural and historical context as well as critical commentary. In her study of the Chilocco Indian School, K. Tsianina Lomawaima asked poignantly, "What has become of the thousands of Indian voices who spoke the breath of boarding-school life?" Changed Forever lets us hear some of them.

After a theoretical and historical introduction to American Indian boarding-school literature, Changed Forever, Volume II examines the autobiographical writings of a number of Native Americans who attended the federal Indian boarding schools. Considering a wide range of tribal writers, some of them well known—like Charles Eastman, Luther Standing Bear, and Zitkala-Sa—but most of them little known—like Walter Littlemoon, Adam Fortunate Eagle, Reuben Snake, and Edna Manitowabi, among others—the book offers the first wide-ranging assessment of their texts and their thoughts about their experiences at the schools.

Warrior Women makes visible the ongoing intergenerational narrative reverberations (Young, 2003; 2005) shaped through Canadas residential school era which denied the communal and cultural, economic, educational, human, familial, linguistic, and spiritual rights of Aboriginal people. Attending to these narrative reverberations foregrounded the continuing colonial barriers faced by six Aboriginal post secondary students as they composed their lives in a current era of increasing standardization in Canadian universities and schools. Yet, what also became visible were ways in which the Aboriginal teachers increasingly reclaimed or drew upon their ancestral ways of knowing and being. In this retelling and reliving of their stories to live by (Connelly & Clandinin, 1999) the teachers were composing counterstories (Lindemann Nelson, 1995). While they wakefully composed and lived out these counterstories with intentions of interrupting dominant social, cultural, and institutional narratives they were, at the same time, alongside children, youth, grandchildren, family members, community members, Elders, and colleagues with whom they interacted, co-composing new possible intergenerational narrative reverberations. These new possible intergenerational narrative reverberations carry significant potential to reshape the future life possibilities of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children, youth, families, and communities in Canada; they also carry significant potential to reshape the school and post secondary places experienced by future generations of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal post secondary students.
