In spite of everything that happened to me, by the grace of the Creator, I have lived to be an Elder.” Set in the Vancouver area in the late 1940s and through to the present day, this candid account follows Sam from his idyllic childhood growing up on the Eslhá7an (Mission) reserve to the confines of St. Paul’s Indian Residential School and then into a life of addiction and incarceration. But an ember of Sam’s spirit always burned within him, and even in the darkest of places he retained his humour and dignity until he found the strength to face his past. The Fire Still Burns is an unflinching look at the horrors of a childhood spent trapped within the Indian Residential School system and the long-term effects on survivors. It illustrates the healing power of one’s culture and the resilience that allows an individual to rebuild a life and a future.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CAItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 127mmAuthor: Sam George, Jill Yonit Goldberg, Liam Belson, Dylan MacPhee, Tanis WilsonContributor: Jill Yonit Goldberg (With), Liam Belson (With), Dylan MacPhee (With), Tanis Wilson (With)Genre: BiographyTopic: Social Sciences, Society & CultureType: Communication StudiesItem Weight: 180gRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
