About This Item
Toronto: Key Porter Books Limited, 1988. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Printing. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 250 pages. The humourous, bittersweet autobiography of Basil Johnston, a native Ojibway, who was taken from his family at age 10 and placed in a 'residential' school in northern Ontario. A unique portrait of Indian life and a telling commentary on a Canadian government policy that removed native children from their parents - with sad, sometimes even tragic, results. Clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear. Slight sunning to spine of dust jacket. Excellent copy..
