(Ottawa, ON) May 30, 2022 – – La Fondation autochtone de l'espoir (FAE) est reconnaissante du soutien et de la générosité dont a fait preuve Red Hat. Grâce à ce don, la FAE continuera à produire du matériel éducatif et des expositions qui traitent de la riche histoire et de la vie des peuples autochtones du Canada, ainsi que des abus et des impacts auxquels les peuples autochtones et les communautés ont été confrontés en raison du Régime des pensionnats indiens.

Red Hat is the world’s leading provider of enterprise open source solutions with award-winning support, training, and consulting services. For over 25 years, Red Hat has been paving the way towards an open approach to enterprise information technology (IT) challenges. The LHF is thankful for the donation and support of Red Hat.

“Red Hat’s Native and Indigenous community supports the work that the Legacy of Hope Foundation is doing because educating people about and bringing awareness of Residential Schools brings healing and understanding. Not only does Legacy of Hope Foundation tell the story, but it tells the story from a Native American perspective, which is critical. Oftentimes Native Americans are underrepresented or misrepresented in society through stereotypes. Telling our story dismantles those stereotypes and lends itself to understanding, acceptance and opportunities,” said Sherry Boddie, Senior Deal Specialist, Native & Indigenous Community Leader of Outreach, Red Hat.

“We are so happy and grateful to have companies like Red Hat support the LHF. Their support speaks to the kindness and generosity of individuals who are willing to work together towards Reconciliation and create a brighter future for all generations.” said Teresa Edwards, Executive Director and In-House Legal Counsel at the LHF.

The LHF is a national, Indigenous-led, charitable organization that has been working to promote healing and Reconciliation in Canada for over 21 years. The LHF’s goal is to educate and raise awareness about the history and existing intergenerational impacts of the Residential and Day School Systems and subsequent Sixties Scoop on Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) Survivors, their descendants, and their communities to promote hope and healing in Canada. The LHF works to encourage people to address discrimination and injustice in order to contribute to the equity, dignity, and respectful treatment of Indigenous Peoples and to foster Reconciliation.

La FAE dispose de plus de 25 expositions accessibles au public et travaille à rendre ses autres expositions disponibles en ligne. La Fondation possède également des programmes d'enseignement de la maternelle à la 12e année et pour les adultes, ainsi que des guides d'activités visant à sensibiliser les Canadiens à l'histoire autochtone et à l'histoire commune des pensionnats et des externats, de la Rafle des années 60, etc. La FAE travaille à développer l'empathie et la compréhension afin d'éliminer le racisme à l’égard des peuples autochtones.
