KCI-NIWESQ | Issue 5 | Residential Schools | Aug 2021

Published on Aug 19, 2021

KCI-NIWESQ

The August issue of Kci-Niwesq is dedicated to the survivors of Canada's Indian residential schools, a program of assimilation that ran in this country from the early 1800s to 1996. It is also dedicated to those children who did not come home and to the parents who waited for a beloved son or daughter who never returned. Kci-Niwesq is an e-zine bringing the voices and issues of Indigenous women and gender-diverse people to the forefront. Kci-Niwesq is a Maliseet phrase that means: the great spirit of the female side of all life and all things. Published monthly by the Native Women’s Association of Canada, Kci-Niwesq covers ground-breaking research on the challenges facing Indigenous women and gender-diverse people, innovative programs and initiatives, and feature interviews with inspiring individuals.
