A national Indigenous charitable organization raising awareness of the impacts of Indian Residential Schools.
About us
The Legacy of Hope Foundation (LHF) is a national, Indigenous-led, charitable organization that has been working to promote healing and Reconciliation in Canada for more than 22 years. The LHF’s goal is to educate and raise awareness about the history and existing intergenerational impacts of the Residential School System (RSS) and subsequent Sixties Scoop (SS) on Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) Survivors, their descendants, and their communities to promote healing and Reconciliation. Part of LHF’s goals are to provide needed resources for schools. The history and information about residual trauma and the links to current social and economic issues are rarely taught in schools, which can lead to misinformation and foster racism. LHF honours Survivors and their families by taking direction from them to ensure that our initiatives consider their true and authentic voices, while providing Survivors with emotional support to ensure their work with us is an empowering and healing experience. We believe that by educating Canadians about both the rich histories of Indigenous Peoples prior to the disruption caused by colonial contact, and the subsequent pain and injustices inflicted on generations, we can highlight the strength and resilience of Survivors. With this approach, we can build respect, understanding, and empathy, so that meaningful connections can happen and we can inspire action that works toward equality, hope, and healing in Canada. LHF offers a unique and comprehensive collection of resources, exhibitions, workshops, and research reports and podcasts to anyone wanting to learn about Indigenous Peoples and willing to work toward Reconciliation. We believe true Reconciliation requires consistent, positive, and informed effort and action by everyone. Our mission is to educate and foster Reconciliation and to create just and equal relationships among all people in Canada. Learn more about LHF here: https://legacyofhope.ca/home/about-us/
