L'histoire d'un crime national
Peter Henderson Bryce was a medical doctor, civil servant and public health expert. In 1907, after surveying 35 residential schools, he submitted a report to the Department of Indian Affairs detailing clear connections between Residential Schools, tuberculosis and high student mortality rates. His recommendations fell on deaf ears and would not be revealed publicly until he was forced to retire. Fifteen years after his initial report, he published an 18-page “appeal for justice”—a pamphlet containing his findings and recommendations, and condemning the government’s lack of action to address illness and death in the Residential School System and First Nation communities. Indigenous peoples continued to experience disproportionate impacts of tuberculosis for years to come. Eventual federal intervention involved a confusing web of enforced medical care leaving Survivors and patients’ families to seek answers and closure.

The Legacy of Hope Foundation Presents – Roots & Hoots Episode 73: with Adrian Stimson
The Legacy of Hope Foundation Presents – Roots & Hoots Episode 73: with Adrian Stimson (Ottawa, ON) – February 3, 2026 – On this week’s episode of Roots and Hoots, we are joined by Adrian Stimson. Adrian is an interdisciplinary artist from the Siksika Nation in southern Alberta. In this interview, Adrian shares stories from his early beginnings, his lifelong connection to art, and the opportunities that have come his way because of it - including one of his latest projects as host of the six-part CBC podcast series Forged, which looks at the life of legendary Anishinaabe artist Norval Morrisseau, and how criminal fraudsters copied his work, in what is believed to be the largest art fraud in the world. Adrian joins the interview from his studio that is located on the grounds of the Old Sun Residential School garden. Adrian and Gordon discuss the impacts of the Residential School System and the history of the land. They discuss how the buffalo has long been an integral part of Blackfoot culture, and why their revival is so important. Through the Buffalo Treaty, Adrian points to the significance of Blackfoot people being able to see and know the buffalo is still there, while Gordon draws connections to the importance of the caribou for the Inuit and the moose for the Cree.
