'Tsqelmucwilc' is the story of those who survived the Kamloops Indian Residential School, based on the 1988 book 'Resistance and Renewal', a groundbreaking history of the school--and the first book on residential schools ever published in Canada. 'Tsqelmucwilc' includes the original text as well as new material by the original book's author, Celia Haig-Brown; essays by Secwepemc poet and KIRS survivor Garry Gottfriedson, and Nuu-chah-nulth elder and residential school survivor Randy Fred; and first-hand reminiscences by other survivors of KIRS, as well as their children, on their experience and the impact of their trauma throughout their lives.
