Taken from their families when they are very small and sent to a remote, church-run residential school, Kenny, Lucy, Clara, Howie and Maisie are barely out of childhood when they are finally released after years of detention.

Alone and without any skills, support or families, the teens find their way to the seedy and foreign world of Downtown Eastside Vancouver, where they cling together, striving to find a place of safety and belonging in a world that doesn’t want them. The paths of the five friends cross and crisscross over the decades as they struggle to overcome, or at least forget, the trauma they endured during their years at the Mission.

Fuelled by rage and furious with God, Clara finds her way into the dangerous, highly charged world of the American Indian Movement. Maisie internalizes her pain and continually places herself in dangerous situations. Famous for his daring escapes from the school, Kenny can’t stop running and moves restlessly from job to job—through fishing grounds, orchards and logging camps—trying to outrun his memories and his addiction. Lucy finds peace in motherhood and nurtures a secret compulsive disorder as she waits for Kenny to return to the life they once hoped to share together. After almost beating one of his tormentors to death, Howie serves time in prison, then tries once again to re-enter society and begin life anew.

With compassion and insight, Five Little Indians chronicles the desperate quest of these residential school survivors to come to terms with their past and, ultimately, find a way forward.

Glad to have listened to such a vulnerable and honest perspective of residential schools.

Beautiful and heartbreaking story

Why is it only now that these stories are being heard? The discovery of 215 children's bodies at the Kamloops residential scool just last week horrifies me. The test of Canada's moral compass will be measured by the courage it will take to uncover what lies beneath the residential schools. Even though the Pope can't say sorry I will. I am so sorry...

This book is a must...

After have the honors of working many years in addictions and in many Indigenous communities, I have heard these stories told over and over. Thank you Michelle Good for putting them in print. These children suffered incredible hardships under the watchful eyes of the “church” and government and their families spirits and cultures were cast to the winds. This book is a wake up call and a tool for understanding.

Too True
