[Year] 2015 [Title] The Education of Augie Merasty: A Residential School Memoir [Author] Joseph Auguste (Augie) Merasty with David Carpenter [ISBN] ISBN 0889773688 [Notes] 
Merasty attended St. Therese Residential School in the community of Sturgeon Landing, Manitoba, from 1935 to 1944. As Merasty recounts, these schools did more than attempt to mold children in the ways of white society. They were taught to be ashamed of their native heritage and, as he experienced, often suffered physical and sexual abuse. Even as he looks back on this painful part of his childhood, Merasty’s generous and authentic voice shines through.
