Returning to the Highest Chief: Life after Residential School


Overview

Life after leaving Kamloops Indian Residential School resulted in a period of deep depression until Mary Jane visited her grandmother Ya-yeh at her cabin in the hills at the Meadows. Mary Jane survived the school's strict regime by acting as a robot, becoming numb to feelings, hopes and dreams. However, Ya-yeh welcomed her granddaughter and reminded her about what is most important in Ntle'kepmx tradition, that of becoming thankful to the High Chief on a daily basis, thereby reconnecting a lost, broken-spirited girl back to humanity.

Author Information

Having taught Indigenous studies for eighteen years, Mary Jane Joe retired thinking her work in bridging gaps between multi-cultures was done. However, Langara College invited Mary Jane, Nk'xetko, to serve as Elder-in-Residence to bring the best of Ya-yeh's teachings and blessings to faculty, staff and students on a continual basis. Book Two outlines the path taken to find peace and wholeness by returning to the High Chief and finding restoration in studying scriptures.
