NOTES

It is post WWI, and Canada is giving away square miles of farmland to settlers in exchange for them agreeing to move there. It is a world of freedom, laws, and opportunity. Unknown to most of its own citizens, Canada waged a genocidal war against its Indigenous peoples--never granting them ownership of land they freely gave to European settlers. A war that was faught in residential schools as they stripped Indigenous peoples of their language, culture, and pride. This is the story of a young boy growing up in that world, determined to be a man in a system that only saw him as an Indian. Migizi's story. Inspired by Tommy Prince and the tens of thousands whose stories remain untold
