A heart-rending true story about racism and reconciliation
Divided by a beautiful valley and 150 years of racism, the town of Rossburn and the Waywayseecappo Indian reserve have been neighbours nearly as long as Canada has been a country. Their story reflects much of what has gone wrong in relations between Indigenous Peoples and non-Indigenous Canadians. It also offers, in the end, an uncommon measure of hope.
Valley of the Birdtail is about how two communities became separate and unequal—and what it means for the rest of us. In Rossburn, once settled by Ukrainian immigrants who fled poverty and persecution, family income is near the national average and more than a third of adults have graduated from university. In Waywayseecappo, the average family lives below the national poverty line and less than a third of adults have graduated from high school, with many haunted by their time in residential schools.
This book follows multiple generations of two families, one white and one Indigenous, and weaves their lives into the larger story of Canada. It is a story of villains and heroes, irony and idealism, racism and reconciliation. Valley of the Birdtail has the ambition to change the way we think about our past and show a path to a better future.

Histoire
"It is my feeling that debilitating shame and guilt are at the root of all dysfunctions in families," says Jane Middelton-Moz. A few common characteristics of adults shamed in childhood: You may suffer extreme shyness, embarrassment and feelings of being inferior to others. You don't believe you make mistakes, you believe you are a mistake. You feel controlled from the outside and from within. You feel that normal spontaneous expression is blocked. You may suffer from debilitating guilt; you apologize constantly.

Histoire
For over 100 years, thousands of Aboriginal children passed through the Canadian residential school system. Begun in the 1870s, it was intended, in the words of government officials, to bring these children into the “circle of civilization,” the results, however, were far different. More often, the schools provided an inferior education in an atmosphere of neglect, disease, and often abuse. Using previously unreleased government documents, historian John S. Milloy provides a full picture of the history and reality of the residential school system.

There is one question Canadians have asked Jody Wilson-Raybould more than any other: What can I do to help advance reconciliation? This has been true from her time as a leader of British Columbia’s First Nations, as a Member of Parliament, as Minister of Justice and Attorney General, within business communities, and when having conversations with people. Whether speaking as individuals, communities, organizations, or governments, people want to take concrete and tangible action that will make real change. They just need to know how to get started, or to take the next step.

Desperate, she breaks the one promise she made to her mother and opens an old chest that belonged to her great-grandfather, who died when the RMS Lusitania was sunk by a German U-boat in 1915. What she discovers there could change history.

Stories throughout Canada's history all tied toget
This book had so many stories that all tied together, that paint a very clear picture of the overt and structural racism that was created for Indigenous Peoples. But there is also stories of success that showcase possible pathways to reconciliation.

Best book by far on understanding the need for reconciliation
Greg rogers is a wonderful story teller. His enunciation in both English and Cree added to the credibility of the reconciliation story. So much history and information packed into this book and made accessible through the art of story telling. I now have a better understanding of the history of settlement, the laws and the basis for racism. Should be a must read in high school.

An Outstanding Book
The authors frame the history of Canada's relationship with the First Nations in a powerful way. They chose to tell it through several generations of two families whose lives exist in parallel but very different universes. The critical differences, and their results frame everything we need to know to understand the shocking wrongs done to Indigenous peoples in Canada. This book would be an excellent addition to any Indigenous studies curriculum.

The Truth
Thank you for such a wonderful, informative and more truthful telling of the history of this area. I taught/was Principal in Pauingassi First Nations for 12 years. It was such a shock to see and continue to see the unfairness that our First Nations people live with. I’m proudly married to a First Nations man and extremely lucky to have my mother in law who is a residential school survived living with us. Thank you again.
