Description
Through Migizi’s life, we experience a glimpse of every Indigenous life lived in Canada. Set from 1918 to the 1960s, Migizi survives the abuses of residential schools and tries to live life as a Canadian. He joins the army and becomes a war hero only to return to a country that barely tolerates his existence. His bravery and perseverance is unwavering until he is forced to face his greatest fears. Will he survive his own demons and memories? Would any of us?
For completeness, the following is the back cover text of Concentration Camps of Canada:
Imagine a world where everyone lives in harmony. A world where square miles of farmland are given to settlers in exchange for them agreeing to move there. A world of freedom, laws, and opportunity.
That world is Canada, then and now.
Unknown to the world and its citizens, that same government waged a genocidal war against its Indigenous peoples—never granting them ownership of land they freely gave to European settlers. A war that was fought in residential schools as they stripped Indigenous peoples of their language, culture, and pride. So successful was this method that Adolf Hitler used it as the model for his own concentration camps in Nazi Germany.
This is the story of a young boy growing up in that world, determined to be a man in a system that only saw him as an Indian.
Migizi’s story.
Based on the truth.

About the Author:
Basic training with the Canadian Reserves, entering a monastery, and sleeping on the sides of roads while hitch-hiking through Europe was the life of Baron Deschauer shortly after leaving high school. Sanity, university, and the need to earn a living earned him a B.Ed., BA, and LLB before embarking on an entrepreneurial life in London, England. He is able to order food, look for a toilet, and find directions in German, Mandarin, French, and Hebrew. As Clint Eastwood said, a man should know his limitations. After watching the movie, Baron now only writes in English.
In his quest to better understand the world around him, he has written a number of books exploring existence (Revelation and Faust), capital (Art of Wealth) and the complex interplay of will, luck, fate, and hope (the Man on the Run series). His most recent book, Concentration Camps of Canada, is described by Kirkus Reviews as: “A sensitive, well-told story of one life ruined by the racism of involuntary assimilation.”
He is married and lives in the Channel Islands.
