I Am Not a Number

I Am Not a Number is a powerful and moving true story that sheds light on a dark chapter in Canada's history.

Based on the life of co-author Jenny Kay Dupuis' grandmother, this book follows the experiences of an eight-year-old girl named Irene who is forcibly taken from her First Nations family and sent to a residential school.

Despite the efforts of the nuns in charge, Irene refuses to give up her identity and fight for her right to be known by her real name.

This book is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the injustices faced by Indigenous peoples in Canada and to learn about the resilience and strength of those who have been affected by these experiences.
