"Forgotten"
A Legacy of Hope Exhibition
This exhibition explores Métis identity, cultural reclamation and healing after their unique experience with an education system that sometimes saw them as ‘too white’, or ‘too Indian’, often moved them to different schools away from their communities to keep school numbers and therefore payments to schools up. The ‘in between’ people have their own stories to tell about the Residential School experience.
