In an atmosphere poisoned first by the Orange Order and then by the Ku Klux Klan, NapoleÌon and his young family adopted anglicized names and did their best to disguise their "foreignness. "In Strangers in the House, Savage scours public records and historical accounts and interviews several of NapoleÌon's descendants, including his youngest son, to reveal a family story marked by challenge and resilience. In the process, she examines a troubling episode in Canadian history, one with surprising relevance today. 600 10 $a Blondin, NapoleÌon Sureau dit. 600 10 $a Parent, Clarissa Marie. 650 0 $a Race discrimination $z Canada $x History. 651 0 $a Saskatoon (Sask.) $x History. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191016010336.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=478B2372EFDA11E9A39D226097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
