In order to honour the survivors of Residential Schools, and those who never made it home, we call on all Canadians, our allies, to contact politicians at federal, provincial and municipal levels of government, urging them to build a permanent monument to remember the children that attended these schools so that we can let the TRUTH be told and learn from past mistakes while addressing the ongoing inequities and injustices.
In the many weeks, months and years to come, more Indigenous children will be found and brought home. We, at the Legacy of Hope foundation, know this to be true, because of our work with survivors for over twenty years. Revisiting the history is traumatic and distressing to say the least, but we need to be ready to work in partnership with all Canadians to demand justice for these children.
