The movement was inspired by Shannen Koostachin, a young Cree woman whom George Stroumboulopoulos named as one of “five teenage girls who kicked ass in history.”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll Shannen wanted was a decent education. She found an ally in Charlie Angus, who had no idea she was going to change his life and inspire others to change the country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on extensive documentation assembled from Freedom of Information requests, Angus establishes a dark, unbroken line that extends from Sir John A. Macdonald's time to today. He provides chilling insight into how Canada—through breaches of treaties, broken promises, and callous neglect—deliberately denied Indigenous children their basic human rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this new edition of Charlie Angus's award-winning and bestselling book, he brings us up-to-date on the unrelenting epidemic of youth suicides in Indigenous communities, the Thunder Bay inquiry into the shocking deaths of young people there, the powerful impact of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's final report, and how the Trudeau government's commitment to Indigenous communities continues to be stymied by decades-old policy roadblocks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charlie Angus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49006184890619,"sku":"9780889774971","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_8043136b-e3dc-45cc-bebf-28b253384025.jpg?v=1782346474","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/children-of-the-broken-treaty-9780889774971","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
