About this product

Product Information

No Time to Say Goodbyeis a fictional account of five children sent to aboriginal boarding school, based on the recollections of a number of Tsartlip First Nations people. These unforgettable children are taken by government agents from Tsartlip Day School to live at Kuper Island Residential School. The five are isolated on the small island and life becomes regimented by the strict school routine. They experience the pain of homesickness and confusion while trying to adjust to a world completely different from their own. Their lives are no longer organized by fishing, hunting and family, but by bells, line-ups and chores. In spite of the harsh realities of the residential school, the children find adventure in escape, challenge in competition, and camaraderie with their fellow students. Sometimes sad, sometimes funny, always engrossing, No Time to Say Goodbyeis a story that readers of all ages won't soon forget.

    A Sordid Piece of American History

    This book covers a very sad and shameful part of American, and Canadian history....where native people were coerced to give up their children and have them sent away to "Residential Schools" (sometimes called Hostels or Boarding Schhols in Canada). This government (US & Can.) initiative was simply an effort to drive the Indian out of the man, under the guise of trying to provide a better life for these children - than what the government thought their parents were capable of doing themselves, and as they had done for thousands of years. The indignities, horrors, and inhumanities suffered at the hands of these oppressive 'religious zealots' left deep and lasting scars and are the cause for generational trauma that the clinicians and health ministries are still trying to deal with today. ...
