"Torn from his family at the age of six, Solomon Ratt was placed into the residential school system-- far from the love and comfort of home and family. In âk-îp-isi-kiskisiâyn / The Way I Remember, Ratt reflects on these memories and life-long challenges through his telling ofâ cimisowina-- autobiographical stories-- and also traditional tales.Presented in Cree th-dialect Standard Roman Orthography, syllabics, and English, Ratt's reminiscences of residential school escapades almost always end with a close call and a smile. Even when the memories are dark, his particularly Cree sense of humour shines, resulting in an important and unique memoir that emphasizes and celebrates Solomon Ratt's perseverance and life after residential school." --
