Join FESA and the University of Ottawa's Lisa Howell for an afternoon of learning and discussion! Lisa Howell will be presenting  The Education of Augie Merasty: A Residential School Memoir on February 27th at 3:00pm in the Resource Centre. The afternoon will feature a brief presentation from Lisa about this important book, followed by a discussion about its importance, and how we can learn from voices like Merasty's. Participants are encouraged to read the book in advance of the event but all are welcome!

From the publisher: "Named the fourth most important "Book of the Year" by the National Post in 2015 and voted "One Book/One Province" in Saskatchewan for 2017, The Education of Augie Merasty launched on the front page of The Globe and Mail to become a national bestseller and an instant classic.

A courageous and intimate memoir, The Education of Augie Merasty is the story of a child who faced the dark heart of humanity, let loose by the cruel policies of a bigoted nation.  

A retired fisherman and trapper who sometimes lived rough on the streets, Augie Merasty was one of an estimated 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Metis children who were taken from their families and sent to government-funded, church-run schools, where they were subjected to a policy of aggressive assimilation." 

Note: Out of respect for all participants and to keep everyone safe masks are strongly recommended for this event. FESA will have masks available should you require one.
