“Kill the Indian, Save the Man is a harrowing and dramatic look at the repercussions of the residential schools that the US and Canadian governments forced American Indian children through. Churchill reveals the murderous nature of this major aspect of the assimilationist tactics that are decimating Native North American communities with his customary scrupulous clarity and emotional prose. Anyone interested in the repercussions of settler state colonialism or transgenerational trauma should read this book.” —Natsu Taylor Saito, Georgia State University Professor of Law and author of We Have Met the Enemy: American Exceptionalism and the Subversion of the Rule of Law.
