Indian Horse

I read this book to hopefully get a better understanding of residential schools and the impact it had and still is on the first nations community and it did not dissapoint.

Before you read this book be aware this book contains a lot of triggering content. Sexual abuse, racism, violence, bigotry, rape etc...

This book had me crying 10 pages in. I have always had empathy for the horror, abuse, genocide, and suffering the 1st nations community had to endure and this books really hit me hard.

This is a heart wrenching story of Saul Indian Horse who survived the residential school system, barley.

While a fictional account it is, from my understanding based on true accounts of the authors family and expierences.

The writing style feels so authenticate, visceral and real I could not put this story down. I Read it in one sitting. Its impossible not to feel for Saul and what he had to endure and highly reccommended.

Excellent book
