Subtitle: Beyond Residential School

Cyber Moccasins: Beyond Residential School will promote awareness to readers that are not aware of the bleak eras of residential school. It will encourage other survivors to heal from abuses and lead a productive lifestyle despite the changes one may encounter. As a disabled aboriginal woman I hope to portray as a positive role model for other survivors to move beyond the residential school era—with a lot of hard work and determination. Cyber Moccasins: promotes awareness and healing!
