It documents the dark period of regulation by racist laws during the twentieth century, and then discusses new emergence in the twenty-first century into a re-establishment of Indigenous land and resource rights. The result is a candidly told personal take on the history of a culture's fight for their rights and survival. It is Canadian history told from a First Nations point of view. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAwards and recognition for Bev Sellars's \u003ci\u003eThey Called Me Number One: Secrets and Survival at an Indian Residential School\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- 2014 George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in Literature\u003cbr\u003e- 2014 Burt Award for First Nations, M騁is, and Inuit Literature (third prize)\u003cbr\u003e- Shortlisted for the 2014 Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize (B.C.
