A council of dolls : a novel / by Power, Mona Susan,1961-author.(CARDINAL)380735;
Naming ceremony: Sissy 1960s -- Hole in the heart: Lillian 1930s -- Ghost dance: Cora 1900s -- A council of dolls: Jesse 2010s"From the midcentury metropolis of Chicago to the windswept ancestral lands of the Dakhóta people to the bleak and brutal Indian boarding schools, A Council of Dolls is the tale of three extraordinary women, told in part through the stories of the dolls they carried. Sissy, born 1961: Sissy's relationship with her beautiful and volatile mother is difficult -- even dangerous -- but her life is also filled with lovely things, including a new Christmas present: a doll called Ethel. Ethel whispers advice and kindness in Sissy's ear, and in one especially terrifying moment, maybe even saves Sissy's life. Lillian, born 1925: Raised in her tribe's reservation in a time of terrible change, Lillian clings to her sister Blanche and her doll, Mae. When the sisters are forced to attend an Indian boarding school far from their home, Blanche refuses to be cowed by the school's abusive nuns. But when tragedy strikes the sisters, Mae finds her way to defend the girls. Cora, born 1888: Born just after the genocidal "Indian Wars," Cora still isn't afraid of the white men who take her away to be "civilized." When teachers burn her beloved buckskin doll Winona, Cora discovers that the spirit of Winona may not be entirely lost. A modern masterpiece, A Council of Dolls is gorgeous, quietly devastating, and ultimately hopeful. With stunning prose, Mona Susan Power weaves a spell of love and healing that comes alive on the page" --

In the shadow of the red brick building / by Charlie, Raymond Tony,author.(CARDINAL)857656;
Residential school survivor Raymond Tony Charlie exposes the sexual, emotional and physical abuse he suffered while attending two schools in British Columbia. More than 150,000 Indigenous youngsters attended the schools that operated in Canada for more than a century. Now in his seventies, the author has endured numerous challenges including substance abuse, lack of self-esteem and health issues throughout his lifetime. "In some ways I became developmentally delayed from the point of abuse from these brothers who were my supervisors at these residential schools. I was literally a bruised lost soul, indecisive and insecure within myself." The residential schools, run mostly by the Roman Catholic Church, had a profound impact on many generations of Indigenous families. "I lost our beautiful language because my late mother chose not to teach us because her generation was punished for speaking it at the residential school." The writing of this book became his own personal healing journey. In keeping with the traditional beliefs and cultural values of an Indigenous Elder, the author speaks honestly, directly and straight from his heart. "I will no longer lower my gaze. I will keep my head up as a proud First Nations man. I have no more guilt or shame."
