Words have a past : the English language, colonialism, and the newspapers of Indian boarding schools / Jane Griffith.

• Bury the lede: introduction -- Printer's devil: the trade of newspapers -- Indigenous languages did not disappear: English language instruction -- "Getting Indian words": representations of indigenous languages -- Ahead by a century: time on paper -- Anachronishm: reading the nineteenth century today -- Layout: space, place, and land -- Concluding thoughts.

• "For nearly 100 years, Indian boarding schools in Canada and the US produced newspapers read by white settlers, government officials, and Indigenous parents. These newspapers were used as a settler colonial tool, yet within these tightly controlled narratives there also existed sites of resistance. This book traces colonial narratives of language, time, and place from the nineteenth-century to the present day, post-Truth and Reconciliation Commission."--
