Quote:
"The Learning Path (1991) praises the resilience of those who, often by assigning muteness to their pain, while keeping the voices of their peoples alive in memory, survived the brutality of the residential school system and have devoted their lives to the self-determination of their peoples and to education in their own communities."
-- Carol Kalafatic
