• Summary:"Sing the Brave Song is a dynamic and comprehensive scrutiny of the historic relationship between Indian people, the church and the vast reprecussions endured by former students of Indian residential schools in Canada. Judith Ennamorato's method of reporting aboriginal traditions is absorbing and potent. From the first time interviews, the reader will see through the eyes of Indian children who were culturally and geographically removed from their homes and families by force; spending as long as ten months a year at institutions where they were forbidden, under threat of corporal punishment to speak their own language, the only language they knew." - back cover.
