Indian School Road



In Indian School Road, journalist Chris Benjamin tackles the
controversial and tragic history of the Shubenacadie Indian Residential
School, its predecessors, and its lasting effects, giving voice to
multiple perspectives for the first time. Benjamin integrates research,
interviews, and testimonies to guide readers through the varied
experiences of students, principals, and teachers over the school’s
nearly forty years of operation (1930–1967) and beyond. Exposing the raw
wounds of Truth and Reconciliation as well as the struggle for an
inclusive Mi’kmaw education system, Indian School Road is a
comprehensive and compassionate narrative history of the school that
uneducated hundreds of Aboriginal children.
