Description

"Over the span of ten years, seven high school students
died in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The seven were hundreds of
miles away from their families, forced to leave their
reserve because there was no high school there for them to
attend. Award-winning journalist Tanya Talaga delves into
the history of this northern city that has come to
manifest, and struggle with, human rights violations past
and present against aboriginal communities."
