This is how I survived and how I strive to thrive.

Votre parcours apprentissage autour de la Journée du chandail orange. La Journée du chandail orange, une commémoration annuelle qui se tient le 30 septembre, est également connue comme la Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation. C’est une journée officielle visant à honorer les survivants des pensionnats et leurs familles, et commémorer les enfants qui ne sont pas rentrés chez eux. À la base, elle a été conçue comme une manière de poursuivre les discussions autour de la réalité des pensionnats à Williams Lake et dans la région Cariboo de la Colombie-Britannique, au Canada, mais le mouvement s’est étendu sur l’ensemble du territoire de l’île de la Tortue, et au-delà. Ce manuel cherche à engendrer des alliés qui suivront la voie de la réconciliation et clameront haut et fort que chaque enfant compte. Cette édition spéciale et abrégée du livre primé La Journée du chandail orange : le 30 septembre explore un grand nombre de sujets importants, y compris les conséquences historiques, générationnelles et actuelles des pensionnats sur les peuples autochtones ; l’historique du mouvement de la Journée du chandail orange ; et la façon dont on peut prendre part à la Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation. Avec des questions de réflexion en fin de chapitre et avec une série d’œuvres d’art soumises par des élèves, les lecteurs sont invités à explorer la façon dont ils peuvent, avec d’autres, participer à la réconciliation relative aux pensionnats. 15 % de recettes issues de la vente de ce livre sont versées à la Société du chandail orange.

Wanting to belong can be hard, and walking away can be even harder.  When a storm plucks four eaglets from their nest to the forest fl­oor, the displaced eaglets proceed on a journey across Turtle Island to rediscover where they belong. One by one, the eaglets encounter communities of creatures who claim them. Will these lost eaglets grow the courage needed to soar in their truths?Inspired by the Students and Communities she has worked with, Nishnaabe author Karen Whetung shares an allegory of survivance and the desire to tell our stories, share our truths, and claim our place in the world in Four Fallen Eagles.   A powerful allegory, each animal the eaglets encounter in this story speaks to historical and ongoing aspects of oppression of Indigenous Peoples in North America. This includes Indian Boarding and Residential Schools, the effects of urbanization on Indigenous  communities, and the impacts of the Church and government.Medicine Wheel Publishing is committed to sharing diverse voices and perspectives, creating a platform for stories that celebrate Indigenous cultures and inspire understanding and respect among readers of all ages.
