The Gavers originated in France. The first known ancestor of the Gavers was Rasse who married either a daughter or niece of the Duke of Acquitane. His son, Rasse II (ca.1025) was butler for Baldwin, Count of Flanders. His ancestors became the hereditary cupbearers of Flanders, Lords of Gaver (also known as Gavre) and Barons of Flanders. Several Gaver families arrived in America in the mid to late 1700s. They settled in Pennsylvania with other Dutch and German emigrants. Descendants of these original Gaver families live throughout the United States and Canada.
Power through Testimony documents how survivors are remembering and reframing our understanding of residential schools in the wake of the 2007 Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), a forum for survivors, families, and communities to share their memories and stories with the Canadian public. The commission closed and reported in 2015, and this timely volume reveals what happened on the ground. Drawing on field research during the commission and in local communities, the contributors document how residential schools have been understood and represented by various groups and individuals over time; how survivors are undermining colonial narratives about residential schools; and how the churches and former school staff are receiving or resisting the “new” residential school story. Ultimately, Power through Testimony questions the power of the TRC to unsettle dominant colonial narratives about residential schools and transform the relationship between Indigenous people and Canadian society.
