It is a story of how institutionalized bigotry has shaped Canada's relationship with its First Nations Peoples. It exposes a dark, and until recently, hidden chapter in\u003cbr\u003e Canadian history, that of Indian Residential Schools; the effects of which the Canadian Government now acknowledges as being \"profoundly negative.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This story follows the lives of four people and how they come to intertwine in Canada's poorest neighborhood. Two residential school survivors, who in the aftermath of their incarceration are struggling to adapt to a society that demanded they change, yet shuns them anyway, and two paramedics who are also grappling with the demons of their pasts. Divided by class, race, and a uniform, they each have more in common than any of them suspect.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Based on moving personal testimonies given to the author by residential school survivors living in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside and the author's career as a paramedic working in that neighborhood, this is a story of love and loss, and of longing and renewal, one that challenges us to see others, and ourselves, in a new light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 338\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.76 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 05, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47248132767993,"sku":"9781634927444","price":27.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/SFR1aEJTUUhvMG40bGRvaTN5eDZXZz09_7b1049ee-ebb4-41da-9c81-9f26a512a9b6.webp?v=1768631277","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/whispers-on-the-ocean-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
