Lux's 2016 SEPARATE BEDS: A History of Indian Hospitals in Canada 1920s - 1980s, Maureen k. lUX'S 2007 MEDICINE THAT WALKS: Disease, Medicine, and Canadian Plains Native People 1880 - 1940, (5) MISSING CHILDREN and UNMARKED BURIALS, Canada's Residential Schools, volume 4 - 2015 - The Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, last but not least, (6) Bev Sellars's 2016 PRICE PAID: The Fight for First Nations Survival. There were many other sources cited but far too many to mention here.
