Residential Schools

Project of Heart

Project of Heart” is an inquiry based, hands-on, collaborative, inter-generational, artistic journey of seeking truth about the history of Aboriginal people in Canada. Its purpose is to:

• Examine the history and legacy of Indian Residential Schools in Canada and to seek the truth about that history, leading to the acknowledgement of the extent of loss to former students, their families and communities
• Commemorate the lives of the thousands of Indigenous children who died as a result of the residential school experience.
• Call Canadians to action, through social justice endeavors, to change our present and future history collectively
