On the Side of the Angels - (Qinuisaarniq) by Jose Amaujaq Kusugak (Paperback)

Jose Kusugak's memoir is a powerful and moving account of his experiences at residential school, providing a glimpse into the lives of Inuit children who were taken from their homes and communities and sent to live in institutions far from their traditional way of life.

Through his vivid descriptions of games played, food caught by hunters, and his mother's preparation of skins, Kusugak paints a picture of a typical Arctic childhood that is both heartbreaking and thought-provoking. This memoir is not just a personal account of one man's experiences, but a window into the broader history of residential schools in Canada and their lasting impact on Indigenous communities.

It is a testament to the resilience and strength of those who survived these institutions, and a call to action for all of us to work towards reconciliation and healing. Don't miss out on this powerful and important book - order your copy today!
