Medicine Unbundled

This book exposes the treatment of Indigenous peoples at racially segregated Indian hospitals and residential schools in Canada from the 1920s to 1980s. Based on interviews with survivors, the work recounts the neglect, abuse, deliberate malnutrition, high mortality rates, medical experimentation, and crippling suffering they underwent, and is illustrated with historical and current photographs. Best suited as a teacher reference, the book can be used as a starting point for independent or group inquiry, or for class debates on genocide, ethnic cleansing, and cultural genocide, for grades 11 and 12.
