- Description
Behind the Bricks is a comprehensive, multi-author historical account of the Mohawk Institute, Canada’s first and longest-running residential school, operating from 1828 to 1970. This work uses a range of resources, including archival photos and records, to explore the experiences of students, their communities, and staff, examining the policies behind the institution. It delves into not only the trauma of these schools but also the government policies, church involvement, curriculum, and military involvement that help contextualize the broader system of assimilation of residential schools. Each chapter contains a robust list of references, making the whole work and its excerpts examples of well-researched, informative writing. Given the length of the whole text, the use of subheadings within the chapters makes it easy for educators to integrate excerpts or images into social studies lessons, allowing for use with earlier learners.
