Miller is a highly regarded Saskatchewan historian, but he also has the makings of an outstanding coroner. In 'Shingwauk's Vision', he has autopsied the barely cooled corpse of the native residential school system. With clinical precision he has examined every aspect of a wrong-headed and catastrophic experiment in social engineering that lasted for three-and-a-half centuries before the federal government finally stepped in and pulled the plug in 1969." - Brian Maracle, Quill and Quire. Heavy/oversize book. U.K postage at default charge but overseas buyers may be asked for a little extra. Enquiries welcome. All orders professionally packed, tracked and/or signed-for, and insured.
