They called me number one : secrets and survival at an Indian residential school

Sellars, Bev 1955- (author.).

Summary: In the first full-length memoir to be published out of St. Joseph's Mission at Williams Lake, British Columbia, Xat'sũll chief Bev Sellars tells of three generations of women who attended the school, interweaving personal histories of her grandmother and her mother with her own. She tells of hunger, forced labour, and physical beatings, often with a leather strap, and also of the demand for conformity in a culturally alien institution where children were confined and denigrated for failure to be white and roman catholic.
