Invisible heroes : Aboriginal stories from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside

Summary: This book is a compilation of writings recognizing the untold experiences of inner-city Aboriginal community members. The personal journeys are intended to be used as relevant learning material in literacy and upgrading centres, and to help organizations and institutions to do a better job of supporting Aboriginal learners and everyday activists. The book is divided in to three parts: an introduction to the Invisible Heroes project with a section on the impact of trauma, the personal stories from Aboriginal community members with discussion sections; and a section with more information for each Invisible Hero as well as historical information on Aboriginal people in Canada and Indian Residential schools.
