Letter to the editor: Questions

Notes: "As a former staff member of the Indian residential schools there are two things that are of great concern to me. One, why would Gladys Cook say in 1990 how wonderful her stay at Elkhorn Residential School was but years later tell a horror story of her stay there ? Two, if conditions were so bad at the residential schools that Roy Inglangasu ('Settlement money', March [2008] letters) attended why did he stay there ? He says that other parents came and took their children home or the children were 'kicked' out. Why was he not 'kicked' out ? It would be important to see the journal that Mr. Inglangasu wrote when he was nine. If life had been very bad for him this certainly would justify his compensation". [Text of entire article.]
