Residential School Memories and the Making of the Witness Blanket

Edición de la obra Picking up the Pieces

"This nonfiction book, illustrated with photographs, tells the story of the making of the Witness Blanket, a work by Indigenous artist Carey Newman that includes hundreds of items from every Residential School in Canada and stories from the Survivors who donated them."-- Newman, a master carver and sculptor turned storyteller, takes us behind the scenes of his multi-panelled, three-dimensional traveling art installation that tells the story of Canada's residential school story. Along with co-writer Hudson, Newman teaches readers about the items, and how they relate to the residential schools in every province and territory. -- Adapted from jacket.
