Résumé
Fourteen stories about Canadian history, each focussing on a "first" - the first meeting between natives and Europeans; the first elections in which women were allowed to vote; an account of the first "Home Children" sent to Canada during the… nineteenth century, supposedly for a better life, but often to work in slave-labour conditions. Includes additional accounts to provide historical context for each story, which cover the period from the mid-seventeenth century to the 1930s, as seen through the eyes of some of its youngest participants. Grades 4-7. 2001.
