Antoine Mountain's Book Launch


ARTIST, SOCIAL ACTIVIST, RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL SURVIVOR ANTOINE MOUNTIAN LAUNCHES NEW MEMOIR AT RYERSON UNIVERSITY.

In 1949, Antoine Mountain was born on the land near Radelie Koe, Fort Good Hope, Northwest Territories. At the tender age of seven, he was stolen away from his home and sent to a residential school—run by the Roman Catholic Church in collusion with the Government of Canada—three hundred kilometres away. Over the next twelve years, the three residential schools Mountain was forced to attend systematically worked to erase his language and culture, the very roots of his identity.  

This event is organized by the History Department in the Faculty of Arts, Ryerson University and  is co-sponsored by the Yellowhead Institute.  

This venue is fully wheelchair accessible. Please contact accessibility@torontomu.ca if you require any accessibility accommodations to ensure your full participation.
