IN THE 1950S, AT FIVE YEARS OLD, Ron Gosbee, the son of the post manager for the Hudson's Bay Company in remote Fort Albany, Ontario, was sent to the local St. Anne's Indian Residential School with his two sisters. The only white children at the school at the time, they would become unwilling witnesses to the systemic cultural genocide against Canada's Indigenous Peoples.

While there, they too lived in fear of cruel nuns and priests, choked down inedible food, and were forced to maintain a rigorous daily schedule far from the warmth of their loving homes. Over sixty years later, Ron adds his unique perspective to the memories of fellow inmates, shining one more light on the trauma and neglect of generations of Indigenous survivors of residential schools in Canada.
