| "At least I got to talk about it—took
a long time but finally I was able to speak."—Glen Anaquod, Residential School
Survivor
In this workshop the National Film Board
of Canada (NFB) and Legacy of Hope Foundation (LHF) offer educators a unique
opportunity to examine Canada's Residential School System - a dark chapter in
our shared history, in a Live Virtual Classroom environment. A valuable
professional development opportunity, this workshop focuses not only on the Residential
School System and its impact on generations of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis,
but also on the importance of resilience, and how we can participate in the reconciliation
process.

| This film gives voice to the victims of a national tragedy and
demonstrates the incredible resilience of the human spirit. As young children,
Lyna and Glen were taken from their homes and placed in church-run boarding
schools. The trauma of this experience was made worse by years of physical,
sexual and emotional abuse, the effects of which persist in their adult lives. |
