Over the last twenty years, the Legacy of Hope Foundation has developed a collection of videos that accompany our groundbreaking exhibits and spread the word about our mission to educate and foster awareness of the impacts of the Residential School System. We appreciate all Survivors taking the time to share their stories, experiences and perspectives as we recognize that some of the material covered can be quite difficult.

This page contains subject matter that may be disturbing to some visitors, especially to Survivors of the Residential School System. Please call the crisis line if you or someone you know is triggered while reading the content of this website.

Developed in 2001, the goals of Where are the Children? Healing the Legacy of the Residential Schools are to: acknowledge the experiences of, and the impacts and consequences of Canada’s Residential School System on Aboriginal peoples; to create a public and historical record of this period in Canadian history that could be easily accessed by Canadians; and to promote public awareness, understanding and education of the history and legacy of residential schools. Through documentation, acknowledgment and education, the goal of the exhibition is also to assist in promoting understanding and reconciliation in Canada about residential schools. The exhibit is accompanied by an extensive video library where Survivors have bravely shared their stories. Click here to  view the video library of Survivor testimonies
