NISHGA

NISHGA, part of the Kanata Classics list with an introduction by David Chariandy, is a powerful autobiographical meditation that examines the lasting impacts of Canada's residential school system on Indigenous communities and individuals. Written by Nisga'a author Jordan Abel, the book explores complex issues of Indigenous identity and intergenerational trauma through a mix of memoir, documents, and photographs. It aims to shed light on often invisible histories of colonial violence and the enduring challenges faced by survivors and their descendants.
