- Résumé
- My name is Carey Newman. My traditional name is Hayalthkin'geme. Through my father I am Kwagiulth of the Kwakwa_ka_'wakw Nation from northern Vancouver Island, In British Columbia. Through his mother, I am Coast Salish from Cheam of the Sto´:lo¯ National along the Upper Fraser Valley. On my mother's side of the family, I am descended from English, Irish and Scottish settlers, who planted their roots in Saskatchewan. Being of mixed heritage, I have always felt conflicted about my experience growing up in Canada
- "This nonfiction book, illustrated with photographs, tells the story of the making of the Witness Blanket, a work by Indigenous artist Carey Newman that includes hundreds of items from every Residential School in Canada and stories from the Survivors who donated them."-- $c Provided by publisher.
- Newman, a master carver and sculptor turned storyteller, takes us behind the scenes of his multi-panelled, three-dimensional traveling art installation that tells the story of Canada's residential school story. Along with co-writer Hudson, Newman teaches readers about the items, and how they relate to the residential schools in every province and territory.
