Description
Paulette Regan's Unsettling the Settler Within explores the legacy of Canada's Indian residential school system and its ongoing impact on reconciliation. A former claims manager, Regan argues that non-Aboriginal Canadians must undergo their own process of decolonization to truly participate in healing the wounds left by the residential school system.
Through a thoughtful and personal account of her own journey, Regan advocates for an ethos that learns from the past and makes space for an Indigenous historical counter-narrative. This powerful call to action offers Canadians - both Indigenous and non-Indigenous policymakers, politicians, teachers, and students - a new way of approaching the critical task of healing the legacy of residential schools.
With a focus on truth-telling and reconciliation, Unsettling the Settler Within is a compassionate and thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationships between Aboriginal and settler peoples in Canada.
