Twelve years later, he left school frozen at the emotional age of seven. He was confused, angry and conflicted, on a path of self-destruction. At age 29, he emerged from this blackness. By age 32, he had graduated from the Civil Engineering Program at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology and begun a journey of self-exploration and healing. 520 $a In this powerful and poignant memoir, Theodore examines the impact of his psychological, emotional and sexual abuse, the loss of his language and culture, and, most important, the loss of his family and community. He goes beyond details of the abuses of Native children to relate a unique understanding of why most residential school survivors have post-traumatic stress disorders and why succeeding generations of First Nations children suffer from this dark chapter in history. Told as remembrances described with insights that have evolved through his healing, his story resonates with his resolve to help himself and other residential school survivors and to share his enduring belief that one can pick up the shattered pieces and use them for good."--Google books. 600 10 $a Fontaine, Theodore, $d 1941- 650 5 $a Indians of North America $z Canada $x Residential schools. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Adult child abuse victims $z Canada $v Biography. 650 5 $a Native leaders $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Healing. 651 0 $a Winnipeg (Man.) $v Biography. 600 16 $a Fontaine, Theodore, $d 1941- 650 6 $a Internats pour Indiens d'AmeÌrique $z Canada. 650 6 $a Indiens d'AmeÌrique $z Canada $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Enfants maltraiteÌs devenus adultes $z Canada $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Leaders autochtones $z Canada $v Biographies. 650 6 $a GueÌrison. 651 6 $a Winnipeg (Man.) $v Biographies. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220105020150.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3801F53C517511E0A5987EABC41A358DInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
