The Witness Blanket: Truth, Art and Reconciliation
Carey Newman, Kirstie Hudson
For over 150 years, residential schools across Canada separated thousands of Indigenous children from their families. Artist Carey Newman made the Witness Blanket so that this history would not be forgotten. The book connects the artwork with the history of residential schools and the children who were sent to them. It addresses remembrance through art while recognizing the lasting harm of forced separation.
