Résumé
In 1939, when Basil Johnston was 10 years old, an Indian agent took Basil and his sister to boarding schools run by Jesuit priests near Sudbury, Ontario. He writes of hunger, loneliness, abuse and culture shock as he describes the… government's policy to assimilate Indians out of a life of "poverty, dirt and ignorance" into the "Canadian way of life".
