General Note: | "An Invisible Hero is someone who is contributing to the well-being of our neighbourhood. We weren't thinking of the Executive Directors of organizations, but of the grassroots leaders of everyday situations. The Invisible Heroes are the people that everybody depends on because they have somehow persevered through the forces of colonialism to offer their strengths to the community." pages 7-8. |

520 | . | ‡aThis 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. | |
