“Resistance and Renewal Surviving the Indian Residential School” is the most in-depth look into the day to day life of students who attended the Kamloops Indian Residential School that’s ever been compiled. The majority of information in the book was compiled from interviews with thirteen elders who attended the school between 1907-1967. I appreciate that Celia proceeded about this book in a manner sensitive to the people involved, being sure to consult them and seek their approval throughout the process.
