Words have a past : the English language, colonialism, and the newspapers of Indian boarding schools / Jane Griffith.

Griffith, Jane, 1983- (author.).

Summary:

"For nearly 100 years, Indian boarding schools in Canada and the US produced newspapers read by white settlers, government officials, and Indigenous parents. These newspapers were used as a settler colonial tool, yet within these tightly controlled narratives there also existed sites of resistance. This book traces colonial narratives of language, time, and place from the nineteenth-century to the present day, post-Truth and Reconciliation Commission."-- Provided by publisher.
