Shingwauk's Vision by J.R. Miller is a comprehensive guide to Canada's Residential Schools system that illustrates the roles of all three parties involved in the establishment and operation of the system: the Federal Government of Canada, the churches, and the Aboriginal peoples. The Guidebook is designed to complement Shingwauk's Vision by providing a pathway for reading and interpreting the book. Each chapter begins with a vignette and a narrative introduction to help the reader to consider personal perspectives enroute to a more global understanding of the issues. Verbatim transcripts assist with comprehension, summarization, and organization of thinking. Supplemental readings augment Miller's research and assist classroom teachers in determining their approach to Aboriginal education. Guiding questions are provided for a more full exploration of the subject matter. The guidebook can be used in whole, or in part, in a cross-disciplinary fashion.
