(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Liz Amini-Holmes. Olemaun, an Inuit girl, is eager to learn to read; she volunteers to attend a church-run residential school and suffers terribly as a result. Told in a strong, clear voice, this blunt narrative about the aboriginal experience of Western indoctrination has the urgency of a survivor's tale. Black-and-white family and archival photographs and an afterword are appended.
Reviewer: Amy Lois Cohn
