The legacy of school for Aboriginal people : education, oppression, and emancipation / Bernard Shissel & Terry Wotherspoon

Education has been designed to serve the mainstream and as a result, Aboriginal students have often been pushed aside. From the early residential schools specifically designed to eliminate Aboriginal identities to present day, young Aboriginal people have been unable to find sources of self-esteem in educational settings. The legacy of school for aboriginal people has been written to help understand the educational aspirations and realities of Aboriginal people in Canada.
