Words Have a Past: The English Language, Colonialism, and the Newspapers of Indian Boarding Schools Music awarded by l'Institute d'histoire deFor nearly 100 years, Indian boarding schools in Canada and the US produced newspapers read by white settlers, government officials, and Indigenous parents. These newspapers were used as a settler colonial tool, yet within these tightly controlled narratives there also existed sites of resistance. This book traces colonial narratives of language, time, and place from the nineteenth century to the present day, post Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
