Project of Heart was created by a teacher, Sylvia Smith, in Ottawa, Ontario to commemorate the lives of the thousands of Indigenous children who died as a result of the residential school experience.
"Children to Children" was created by Shingwauk Residential School Survivor and Elder Shirley Horn, inter-generational survivor Shelly Fletcher, Zenith-Lillie Eakett, and Dayna Rainville. "Children to Children" is meant to honour Residential School Survivors and those students that did not make it home. The artists acknowledge the losses and the devastating effects upon all facets of First Nation life, but want to present a brighter future that is based on the truth, the reclamation of our traditions, and a better understanding between all Canadians and all children on Mother Earth.
This series comprises photographs and documentation from "Project of Heart- Commemorating the Children of Future Generations Initiative" and “Children to Children” part of the Project of Heart, which opened on December 7, 2013 at 180 Projects Gallery in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario. "Children to Children" was created with Shingwauk Residential School Survivor and Elder Shirley Horn, inter-generational survivor Shelly Fletcher, Zenith-Lillie Eakett, and Dayna Rainville.
