Alone and without any skills, support or families, the teens find their way to the seedy and foreign world of Downtown Eastside Vancouver, where they cling together, striving to find a place of safety and belonging in a world that doesn't want them. The paths of the five friends cross and crisscross over the decades as they struggle to overcome, or at least forget, the trauma they endured during their years at the Mission. Fuelled by rage and furious with God, Clara finds her way into the dangerous, highly charged world of the American Indian Movement. Maisie internalizes her pain and continually places herself in dangerous situations. Famous for his daring escapes from the school, Kenny can't stop running and moves restlessly from job to job--through fishing grounds, orchards and logging camps--trying to outrun his memories and his addiction. Lucy finds peace in motherhood and nurtures a secret compulsive disorder as she waits for Kenny to return to the life they once hoped to share together. After almost beating one of his tormentors to death, Howie serves time in prison, then tries once again to re-enter society and begin life anew. With compassion and insight, Five Little Indians chronicles the desperate quest of these residential school survivors to come to terms with their past and, ultimately, find a way forward"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Poverty $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Indigenous youth $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Racism $v Fiction. $9 88056 650 0 $a Psychic trauma $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $x Government relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. $9 83659 650 0 $a Survival $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cree Indians $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z Canada $v Fiction. $9 89742 650 0 $a Off-reservation boarding schools $z Canada $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Cultural assimilation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Ethnic identity $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Vancouver (B.C.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. $9 72061 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft $9 200624 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 650 7 $a FICTION / General $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Indigenous $2 bisacsh 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240220011350.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D122B236CFBD11EEA823266155ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
