Flowers on My Grave: How an Ojibwa Boy's Death Helped Break the Silence on Child Abuse

Rating:
Summary: The Book Tells The Truth
Review: So many of the Canadian reserves suffer the same problems.
Only if all the reserves could open up and deal with the abuse problem.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Resource
Review: This book thoroughly and thoughtfully examined the complexities of providing child welfare services in First Nations communities. The story of Lester's suicide was heartbreaking but the strength of the people who wanted to help was inspiring. This would be an excellent text for use in Native social work programs to highlight the many challenges on reserve social workers face.
