Stonefish, Brent 1975- (author., Author). Kechego, Jode, 1968- (editor., Added Author).

Summary: The residential school system in Canada continues to have a great impact on Aboriginal people. We continue to struggle with the trauma of this legacy. In this book, we take a brief look at the history but the focus is on intergenerational impacts that exist today from the residential school system. These impacts affect learning, education, and family relations. <i>"Moving Beyond"</i> highlights postive approaches and paths to healing and promotes the development of healthy individuals, families and communities.
