"Historically significant." - Publishers Weekly

"[Augie] wrote his memoir to show people the unbelievable atrocities suffered by so many Indigenous people and in the hope that others would come forward to tell their stories of what happened in the residential schools." - Eagle Feather News "This book is so much bigger than its small size. It is a path to healing. We cannot change history, but we can acknowledge it, learn about it, and remember it." - Prairies North

" The Education of Augie Merasty might be a small book, but it carries a punch to it that all Canadian need to read and understand." - Rabble

"A truly extraordinary memoir by a truly extraordinary man." - Midwest Book Review

"Carpenter's introduction and afterword... allow us to come to better understand Augie's 'sometimes chaotic, sometimes heroic aftermath of his life,' as Carpenter describes his last decade. Where Augie focuses on physical scars, Carpenter's experiences with Augie illustrate the long-term impacts on his residential school experience. And with The Education of Augie Merasty, he helps Merasty--who could be any number of individuals we each pass on the street--find his voice." - Active History "Unsettling and profound, and good." - Blacklock's Reporter
